[comp.sys.atari.st] microsoft mouse as a replacement, instructions?

HEIMBIG@WSUVM1.BITNET (Bruce Heimbigner) (01/13/90)

Once upon time someone posted instructions for convertering a
Microsoft (serial) mouse for use with ST.  Does anyone have these?
If so please re-post or email to me directly.

Also the previous article didn't mention the Logitech mouse, it should
work too, right?

Bye

I have the rewiring diagrams, and can e-mail them if you would like,
but...

I have been unable to find a comptable female connector for the
other end of the microsoft mouse. Microsoft refuses to sell me one, and
I refuse to cut up a microsoft mouse to soldier on a new end.

Does anyone have a supplier for these things that I can contact?
