Unless my memory is flawed (Dendrite Mish-mash error) the third button is used nowadays as the mouse button. I believe the two joystick capability is no longer a II ability as of the IIe, is anybody out there sure?

I just went and checked it out, $C063 IS the mouse button, a.k.a. button #2. Unlike the other buttons (0 and 1) its value is usually > 127, and drops BELOW 128 when the button is pressed. I just checked it myself. To check it from basic just peek(49251). -- Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I. I wrote SHELL and Daemon, greyelf@wpi.bitnet 100 Institute Rd. send bug reports, suggestions, greyelf@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester, Ma 01609 checks to me. People keep asking me if Shell or Daemon are compatible with the IIc, IIe. YES, I wrote them on my Laser 128. Now Daemon also works on the GS. Tell you what, you buy me a gs, I'll write stuff for it... I guess the only apple Daemon doesn't work on is a mac (heh, heh).

This may be true on your Laser, but it is *not* true of Apple IIs in general. The same goes for this "$C063 is the mouse button". Not on Apple IIs it isn't. >-- >Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I.

The apple II,II+, and IIe support 3 buttons, four analog inputs, and
a couple of outputs on the interior DIP connector.
The IIe and IIc support two analog inputs and 2 buttons on the
external D connector. On the IIc, the D connector also supports the mouse.
