Description: Dr Dekker kindly built two PS2 mouse adaptors for my Amigas, cheers mate!, they are intended for use as external adaptors but I could not resist fitting one internally on my A1200. It fitted nicely under the floppy drive (after some small adjustments) and works perfectly. I have simply turned the "D" connector around and re-secured it using the exixting fastenings and then cut a slot in the small trapdoor next to the mouse port. (what is that trapdoor for?)So the whole thing can be de-modded easily. And yes, I know the PS2 plug is upside down.

| LoadWB Posts:2901 | September 10, 2007, 03:08:48 AM My first thought when seeing this was that he had installed a two-sided DB9, one side out and one side in for the PS/2 adapter. If he was going to lose the second joy port by doing this mod, I would have assumed he would just install the PS/2 port in place of the DB9...? |
| Homer Posts:1166 | September 05, 2007, 07:28:38 PM Hmm, I internally fitted an adapter into my A1200 tower, so I could have two joysticks and a mouse. Press a button and it becomes the active device. Now that would look good with this device :idea: |

Inspired by Dave's mod, I'm now working on an internal version of the PS2 adapter myself (for 1D1 motherboards only). This'll also retain the original mouse port for joystick use - so two-player gaming will still be possible. :-) |
| Hodgkinson Posts:1080 | May 20, 2007, 07:59:49 PM Errrm, Note how the JOY0 connector has been turned to face into the case, making connecting a second joystick near impossible, and connecting a joystick whilst the PS/2 mouse adaptor is in place might go and fry the PS/2 mouse adaptor...Eg, the joystick might cause each of the outputs of the adaptor to be dragged high/low and zap the outputs of the IC one by one. EDIT: Btw, one thing that uses the small bay there is the HyperCOM MK1 / Port Junior serial interface for somewhere to locate the extra serial port. |
