Hooking up PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard old AT mobo

Hi, I'm building an old dos/win 95 box. I've got a this motherboad: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/P/PC-WARE-INTE...

It only has an AT din port, I've read that you can only hook up keyboards to these, and as I don't have an AT keyboard I've bought an AT to PS/2 adaptor.

My question is now, how do I hook up the mouse? I'm going to put a soundblaster that has a serial port in the machine, so I could use a serial mouse, but the problem is I wanted to use that serial port for a joystick. Also I'd prefer a PS/2 option as I don't have a serial mouse.

C12Friedman, Thanks for your reply. That was the first thing that came to mind (ps/2 cards), but they seem to be fairly rare and expensive (considering this build is going to be under $50). I was just wondering what people did back in the day. I guess serial mouses through some serial port.
