Title: Might as well ask...Golden Image Mouse on Catweasel?
Post by: guest3217 on January 21, 2007, 05:54:35 AM

Hi,
I can't seem to get my new (ebay) Golden Image Mouse (Atari/Amiga compatible) to work on my Catweasel MK4.
 I remember reading a post a while back about a Golden Image mouse....but I can't seem to find it.
Could it be incompatible?
I get the... "shaky mouse" when I try using the mouse (catweasel mouse 2) but nothing at all on catweasel mouse 1.

Anyhow, I doubt anyone will know, but I thought I might as well ask.
Thanks,
Wizardo

If your Golden Image mouse is the pen-mouse I've used in the past, it has a cheaply constructed trackball that quits working and falls apart shortly after you start using it.  Even if you do get it to work it will probably not last long.  It's probably not worth your time.

Hi,
No, its actually a  regular mouse...but I did take it apart and it does look rather cheap. I tried cleaning it up, but still nothing, just minor  movement (shakiness.)
