You will probably need specific drivers for a serial mouse. Go to the manufacturer's site and look for the drivers revelant to your operating system.

What kind of mouse connects to the computer by using a mouse bus card?

This is called a "bus mouse" and is the precursor to PS2 technology. In the 1980s IBM compatible computers did not have a built in interface for a mouse. At the time many mouses used a serial connection (COM port). The bus mouse interface was developed by Microsoft so that the mouse would have its own dedicated interface. It was soon rendered obsolete when IBM released its next generation of PC's with the PS2 interface for keyboard and mouse.

Does the PS3 Guitar Hero World Tour work on PS2?

You can't play a game for a newer console on a console that it wasn't made for. If the PS3 was made before the PS2, then it would work. But then the PS2 would be the PS3 and the PS3 would be the PS2 and then all that would start over again and I'd have to say the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER again...and that wouldn't work, would it?
