I've got a mouse called "Aero Mouse" which was dirt cheap.  It works
fine for me and emulates either Microsoft or Mouse Systems mice.  It
is three button, 300 dpi resolution.  It works fine with the mouse
systems driver under X386 and you get 3 buttons that way.  It also
works fine under the microsoft driver, but you only get 2 buttons
that way.

I've also heard that Dexa mice are okay cheap mice.  You can probably
get one at your local HyperMart (that's where I've seen them around
here).
