My A1200 mouse (think it's the original, but it might be an Alfa Data Mega Mouse from about the same time) is starting to fail due to a broken wire (up/down stops working if the cable is in a specific position at the computer end). One option is for me to try and replace the cable (I can solder) but if this goes wrong, what is the best option?
I can see the Cocolino adapter (I have a spare PS/2 mouse) but will this work outside of Workbench (I see it needs a driver disk)? Alternatively I quite like the replacement mouse port from Centuriontech.eu which allows a USB mouse to go straight in (I have a revision 2B board).
It looks like new 'real' mice are in short supply at the moment and all the new options require an adapter.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
