After using the mouse on the mac II for a while, I have decided that I like the feel of it much more that the mouse on the Mac Plus. Does anyone know of a replacement mouse for the Plus that is closer to the feel of the new mice used on the SE, GS, MacII? Nick Silva

He is a hardware buff and thus quite easily bypassed the ADB board that is in the IIgs mouse. This will probably work for an SE/II mouse as well. He also quite happly converted an old xerox 3-button optical mouse that I had left over when we upgraded our 1108 to an 1186. He has published the wiring changes needed to do this in europe on MacTel a Mac Users bulletin board. If people are interested I can download the details and post/mail them out.

I'd like to know how to hook up a Xerox optical mouse to the ADB. I have one
hooked up to my 512ke, but will be moving up to an SE soon.

I even prefer them to the new ADB mouse. * Scott Robert Anderson * ** gatech!emoryu1!phssra * * * ** phssra@emoryu1.{bitnet,csnet} * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I don't recall the price of the bridge, but I think it's around $129 list. If anyone out there has one, I'd like to hear their experiences with it (I can just see using an Extended Keyboard on a Mac Plus...) ========================================================================= Robert Hammen Computer Applications hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104
