: 1. I've read you can have a mouse to the serial and a mouse hooked to the PS/2 at the same time in win95, controlling the same cursor, would this work in win98?

yeah, even 4 usb mice at the same time all controlling the pointer.

: 2. Would the above work for a USB mouse and a PS/2 Mouse? USB and Serial? Or how about all 3?

Ditto.

: 3. Could Stephen Hans dual keyboard circuit work for 2 mice instead?

Who is stephan Hans. Probably not work.
:
: 4. Is there any easy way to convert PS/2 plug to serial? I'd assume it would be simply connecting wires to the right pins, but is there any reason the device wouldn't work?

I'm sure their are converter out there. Or make your own, do a yahoo search for ps2 pinout (that will get oyu playstation stuff too unfortunately)

: 5. How about USB to Serial/PS2, I know there are converters to PS/2 but can I just strip the wires and solder it onto a plug?

nope, needs a circuit, converter are expensive

: 6. Who shot JFK?

Mrs. White in the Study with the revolver.

What are your plans? What are you trying to do. There might be an easier way.
