Hi Freaks,
Yesterday I bought a AtariST. It was a used computer and there was
no mouse into.
And so I hope that anyone can help me:
I am searching a used mouse for my ST. Because I'm a German Freak
it would be easyer if a German user can help me.
My mail adress is KBOMFG::HAUCK.
Bye,
Jochen.

You may use almost any QUADRATURE-type mouse with the Atari ST by fabricating an appropriate connector. Note that mice come in two major types. The "SERIAL" mouse (Logitech C7, the DEC "Hockey-puck" type & friends) has a microprocessor inside, and is not usable on the Atari without significant hardware hacking inside the mouse. These mice use serial RS232 communciation and a high-level procotol. The QUADRATURE mouse, such as the Atari mouse, the old DEC mouse (VS100, early VSII), and many others, is a simple device with X and Y sensors that has two "quadrature encoded" contol wires for each axis. Most cheap mice are quadrature. | |||||
