Monday I recieved mail telling me that I made an error in the Amiga
mouse connector pinouts. This is the first chance I've had to
double-check. Sure enough, I blew it.
(a 16 hour work day does wonders for clear thought!) o)
Her are the correct pinouts:
1 V-pulse
2 H-pulse
3 VQ-pulse
4 HQ-pulse
5 NC
6 Button 1
7 +5 Volts
8 Ground
9 Button 2
The error I made was switching pins 9 & 7. 7 is +5 Volts, not pin 9.
I don't know how I managed to switch pins 9 & 7, but the above listing
is correct. Sorry for any trouble this caused. I think the worst case
would be a non-working trackball, not smoke + fire. Thanks again for
showing me the error of my ways.
p.s. I got my 1.2 "enhancer" yesterday, 3 disks and a 77 page book for
$15. That's nearly free! Thanks Commodore-Amiga, I guess you do
care after all. (I still remember the $70+ Apple IIe "enhancement")
