You currently can't attach 9 mice to a standard PC, so what's the problem? At least my proposed methodology would *possibly* support 8. With USB, 9 mice on your USB might be *possible*, but highly unlikely.

I limited the number of device types to 2^5, or 32. Where are you pulling the number *4* from?
I can't think of more than about 8-9 type of devices that we'd want to support, but at least with room for up to 32 device-types, I think that's plenty.
