I'm not aware of any way. It behaves like proper ExPS/2 mouse: after reset
it returns id0, after ImPS/2 sequence 3, and after ExPS/2 sequence 4.
In both ImPS/2 and ExPS/2 modes it uses 2/0xE(0xFE) in fourth byte of
packet for horizontal wheel.

Windows .INF talks about "A4M0004", but it looks to me like an internal
.INF identifier and not as an identification string obtainable from mouse.

I'll try to write email to them, maybe they'll answer.
