This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in my hardware docs, 
so here goes:
Many of the newer 486/Pentium boxes (I have seen Gateway, Dell, NCR,
but would imagine others), have a 9-pin dedicated mouse connector,
usually described as a PS/2 mouse. Is there a standard port/IRQ
combination for that port? Is there any way of finding out
such things?

Thanks.
