One solution that I have come across is to simply connect a Microsoft bus mouse directly, with little modification short of connecting the right wires to the right pins.

Does anyone know where I can find documentation on such a procedure? I would like to be able to do this. I have also come into possession of a Mouse Pen, which connects by a PS/2 connector, or a serial connector. Does someone have information if this is a possible connection on the ST? Thank you very much. csasaki@jarthur.claremont.edu Disclaimer: I wasn't awake.

I don't understand all the fuss about mice.
Last time I checked, Atari would send you a new one for a busted one and $25.
If you want a non-Atari mouse, pick up any ST mag (easier said than
done) and you'll see ads for dozens of 'em... including high-performance
(high price too!) totally optical mice, cordless mice, etc., etc., ad
infinitum, ad nauseum...

Well, yes, there are a variety of mice available for the ST. But the Microsoft Mouse IS a very nice mouse, and it would be nice to connect one to the ST. I have not seen a MousePen available for the ST, either. I happen to have one right now. I would like to connect this to my ST. I would hope that the procedure would be similar to connecting the Microsoft mouse. There are just some hardware items that I have not seen for th ST specifically, that I would like to adapt. > >|\/|ike Greelish >Carnegie Mellon U. undergrad trying to be helpful ------- csasaki@jarthur.claremont.edu HMC student trying to use a MousePen.

I remember some time ago that someone mentioned that the Konyo mouse
is a Microsoft mouse for the ST. Does anyone know if this is true?
