[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Anybody ever tried an M2 mouse?

gt4662b@prism.gatech.EDU (BRANHAM,JOSEPH FRANKLIN) (02/09/90)

For the sake of completeness, I'll ask if anyone has ever tried
hooking up a Mouse Systems M2 Optical mouse to their Amiga. It has
no nice row of solder blobs, except for where it looks like they
wanted to put a larger chip in. The manual states that there is a
quadrature option available.

I bet we can find these things REAL cheap!!

	It certainly looks doable to me... If I just knew what that
missing chip was! :-) I could do some good guessing in the pullups.

	I paid about $30 for mine. And I got lots of fun PC software
with it! :-)
