[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] Mouse port pinouts

boyd@fsucs.cs.fsu.edu (Mickey Boyd) (09/11/90)

Could someone either post or email me the pinouts on the mouse port.  Am I 
correct in assuming that the mouse port supplies +5v to the mouse?  That is
the pin I am concerned with (although I need to know the others too!!).  
Thanks!!

Ok, here it is.  The diagram is from the external port view


		 -------------------------
		 \  1   2   3   4   5   /
		  \                    /
		   \  6   7   8   9   /
		    ------------------

	1 - Up/XB
	2 - Down/XA
	3 - Left/YA
	4 - Right/YB
	5 - Not connected
	6 - Fire/Left button
	7 - +5vdc
	8 - Ground
	0 - Joy1 fire/Right button

Note, that the mouse port is the same as the joystick port 1.

This is taken from the ST owners manual, page 88 on my copy.

The pinouts of all the ST's connectors are in the users manual that came with
the ST.
