I haven't heard anything about Xerox marketing their optical
mouse, but I do have in front of me a document entitled
"Preliminary Mouse Systems Corp M-1 Mouse Specification,"
which describes an optical mouse produced my MSC. I have used
it (though briefly) attached to a SUN workstation, and it is quite
nice. It will be able to detect rotation as well as translation.
Price: $286, qty 1 (??)
Apple-II interface: $51
IBM-pc interface: $51
RS-232 interface: $40
Availability: 2nd Q, '83.
The address: Mouse Systems Corp.
655 Fairoaks Ave., Suite D-313
Sunnyvale, CA 94086

Have fun,
