Amiga PS/2 mouse-adapters...

[mingle]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to use a nice PS/2 optical mouse on my A1200, but the only way I can see to do this is via a Cocolino adapter, but these are far too pricey, IMHO...

Then I noticed this on fleaBay:

eBay - Amiga mouse adapter

I've asked the seller if it will allow the wheel functions on most mice to work, but he mentioned having to wire up the joystick port to the header-pins on the mouse adapter to get it to work...

Does anyone else have any experience with mouse adaptors and is there any alternative to the Cocolino?

(Cocolino: I always thought that was the name of an Italian porn-star!:-))

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Red,

Sounds interesting...

Anyone have any experience with this adaptor and is it any better/worse than the alternatives?

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi,

Call me a skinflint, if ya like, but I was looking for something (even if I have to hack it together myself!) around the $AU20 mark... :-)

This one (landed in Oz) would work out around $65...

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi again,

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about:

But, unfortunately I don't have access to a PIC programmer, or even if I did I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it! :-)

Cheers,

Mike.

@Darrin,

Actually, I don't drink, but with 3 kids under 3 maybe I should start!

If Red should happen to put some of those adapters up on eBay, with a sensible starting price (hint, hint!), I might be tempted to bid.

Cheers,

Mike.
