I received the same suggestion from two sources on how to get my mouse
going.  Thanks to root at radier (Bob Reineri) and jbayer at ispi (John Bayer).
The set up goes like this:

1) use all SCO utilities to install mouse
2) boot DOS
3) run a program to use the mouse (such as the INSTALL program that comes
   with the mouse)
4) warm-boot Xenix (i.e. hit Cntl-Alt-Del)
5) Xenix should now show a mouse device during the boot messages

If the power goes off, or you need to do a cold-boot (i.e. push reset button),
repeat steps 2 - 5.

This is still only a partial solution.  Hopefully, a more robust solution
will be forthcoming.  SCO has received my e-mail and is working on it.
