USB mouse to Amiga adapter
« on: November 14, 2007, 06:58:25 AM »
Now, there are adapters available that allow you to use a PS/2 mouse in Amiga and there are adapters that allow you to stick a USB mouse into PS/2 port. By combining these two adapters you can get an optical USB mouse connected into Amiga and it works - at least the basics.  

How about ditching the extra bit and making an USB to Amiga mouse adapter? I suppose basic two button and movement function should be doable. Has anyone already made such an adapter? I know you can get USB ports into Amiga via the clock port but for basic mouse usage the adapter would be a cheaper alternative.

Pretty much. Thanks! Is that open source or buyable from somewhere?
