For my old II+ I have a mouse interface card bought at tcf along with an optical mouse. These toys work (On my fathers IIE) and Im sure they will work on my II+ but I dont have any software on a II+ that uses a mouse and (dont ask me why) I am interested in writing some. My problem is that I dont have a clue how one deals with this card. As I see it since reasonably current IIE software knows how to use it, it must conform to spec. Anyone have those specs??? Replies to me please... Lawrence Fischer

The ][e Technical Manual will, I believe, provide you with lots of specs. HHow- ever, I don't have it in front of me. The ][c Technical Manuals certainly do have such specs. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.

(Unless Apple's revised the version that I revised and is available in bookstores, published by Addison-Wesley.) The reason that mouse info was left out was that, unlike the //c and Mac, very few Apple //e's were equipped with mice. On the other hand, a large percentage had the extended 80-column card (128K memory) and at least one Super Serial Card. Therefore, those devices were described in the manual. The "Apple //c Technical Reference Manual" does give the mouseport signal pinouts and levels and timing. Just about all you should need short of making your own mouse card from scratch... The two implementations are pretty close, the differences generally being ignorable. Should work for the Mac, too, come to think of it. seh

Anyone know where one can purchase a mouse card for the //e? Without the mouse. I have a friend who purchased a Hayes Mach IV Plus Quad (or something like that) joystick. He did not understand that he has to have the mouse card to make it double as a joystick and mouse. Dealers in our area will not sell the Mouse card and mouse seperately. Certainly some mail order house will have something like this? __ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __ ]__[__________][__________][__________][__________][__________][__________]__[ | | UUCP: crash!pro-freedom!mmcnew Freedom Board "What's behind | | |||| ProLine: mmcnew@pro-freedom |1|206 699-4477|9| me is not |||| |||| ------------------------------- |0| 3/12/2400 |8| important!" |||| |||| \|/ Alien Invasion Landing Site: |M| Apple*Van |6| --- |||| |||| {o o} |E| PO Box 2221 |6| The |||| |||| \=/ AILS: 45 37 N / 122 36 W |G|Vancouver, WA|3| Gumball Rally |||| |__|__________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________|__| ]__[__________][__________][__________][__________][__________][__________]__[
