Now, the mouse I have isnt working, well it clicks but does not scroll, either the mouse is messed up or it has a problem on the board. I need to make sure everything works before I put her back together... will a regular serial mouse work on the Amiga? or is it a special amiga mouse?
You do need to use a regular Amiga mouse, or a USB or PS/2 mouse with appropriate adapter. When you say "it does not scroll" - are you referring to a scroll wheel (which needs special software to operate) or that it does not move about at all?
