DIY mouse adapter

[Mark Smith]

The talk of mice in another thread reminded me of a link I came across on Zimmers.net

Might be of interest to people.

There is also the commercial product Micromys from Individual Computers:

To read about what it can do, you can download the manual here.

Just a minor warning about the Micromys .. it doesn't physically fit on port 1 of the flat C128s :-(

Apart from that it works great and does everything it says it does! Once I find a suitable small D9 connector I'll try and swap the big black D9 on the Micromys.

Oh the only other "issue" is that modern mice have a much higher sensitivity than the old 1351, which means if you move them to fast on a C64/128 strange things happen to the mouse pointer, tries to loop back on itself or appears in random locations .. guess the modern mice send data faster than a CBM is expecting :-)
