[net.micro.6809] Color Mouse

smq@hlhop.UUCP (Steven M. Queriolo) (12/19/83)

Has anyone purchased one of RS Color Mouse controllers?  I was
considering purchasing one, but with a $49.95 pricetag, I thought
I would consult the net.  

I know the advantages of a mouse (from an AT&T blit), so I am
concrned with perfromance and reliabilty.  It appeared to be an awkward
size; very square and boxy, unlike your hand.  Is it accessable via
the joystick ROM routine?   

Thanx for any assistance......

The CoCo Mouse plugs into the joystick jack, and hence the very same
code that reads the joysticks can read the mouse.
