Silversurfer as mouse port?
« on: September 14, 2007, 12:35:55 PM »
I have just got a used a1200 motherboard and noticed that its missing one of the mouse ports and its connector. The seller has included with the motherboard a silversurfer, and it comes complete with a PC serial type adapter to 9 pin male.

Should I throw abuse at the seller, or this setup can be used with a normal Amiga mouse?

Thanks!

Yup that picture is just like my a1200 motherboard. I have contacted the seller about the missing mouse port - if he cannot provide me with one, I'll get one from amigakit.com  :-D

Yup, Effy gave me a great deal, I am happy with it for sure.

As for the missing mouse port, I could get this for €5:

Is that all I need? If yes I'll just buy myself, and case closed :D  :-D
