Title: Is An Atari Mouse Compatable With The Amiga?
Post by: dannyp1 on September 02, 2008, 06:30:06 PM

This may be a stupid question, but is a mouse for an Atari computer compatable with the Amiga?

I don´t think it´s stupid, but smart to ask.

I have a "Wizzard" mouse or something, it has a switch beneath it where I can set it to Atari mode or Amiga mode. On a bad day, Atari mode can kill a CIA chip.

Oh, crap a post with kill and CIA in it... Echelon will come for me now...

I do have a trackball that has an Amiga/Atari switch, so I suppose they are close but the same. Probraly just a case of exchanging a few wires.
