Wanted - Hen's Teeth ?

Expect to pay a premium $ price for anything Amiga related, especially here in the USA.  You might try posting what you're looking for over on Amibay, I had some good success doing that there.  You could also try getting an adapter from AmigaKit for the mouse.  Good luck!

Nobody was selling any basics at Amibay...I mean if I want to get some super mondo accelerator sure, mouse...nada.

You need to post an ad for what you're looking for under the "Want to buy" forum.  Registration can be a PITA (there's a lot of threads here already talking about that) but the "want to buy" forum is probably the biggest advantage Amibay has over sites like ebay or Craigslist.  Usually those darned Amiga hoarders have plenty of these items, they just don't come up for sale very often unless you ask, LOL.

Since you have ECS then you'd be able to tell me. I read that you can't use pulldown screens feature when using RTG cards. Does this limitation apply to the ECS as well.

All of the standard Amiga chipsets (OCS, ECS, AGA) support screen dragging, including with the Indivision ECS.  As for video cards... I think that would depend on the card and software used?

Same concept as locks on car doors, old carburetor linkages, and many different types of printers, Dell, HP, etc., all use mechanical pushrods in various applications.  So, not as uncommon as you might think!  ;-)

PS - major nostalgia at the picture of that old IBM.  Thanks for posting it!
