[comp.sys.atari.st] Mouse replacements

jdg@elmgate.UUCP (Jeff Gortatowsky CUST) (03/07/90)

 Hello.
   Sometime back, a document was passed round the net describing
how one takes a IBM PC mouse (non optical I assume) and connect it
to the St. Could someone please repost this doc? I'm in dire need.
To anyone that saw my previous message, and reply'd, please, reply
again. As It musta got lost somewheres between here and someplace
<sigh>.

Eastman Kodak makes film not comments.  Therefore these comments are mine
not theirs.

I have seen several requests for this info, I will drag it out when I get
home and post it.

Rather than going with the MicroSoft mouse I might suggest Practical Solutions
cordless mouse - it has a feel a good as the IBM mouse but no cord!  Costs
a lot less too...

BTW, some of the people I know use the cordless mouse and really have had only
one problem - the mouse uses 2 AA batteries in about 2 weeks (sometimes less). 
There is a discussion going on one of the local bbs's here about using
rechargables and even lithium (sp?) batteries.  Overall, I heard that it is a
good mouse...
