Using a PS2 mouse on an Amiga... ?
« on: April 17, 2003, 01:11:10 PM »
Has anyone sucessfully connected a PS2 mouse (with or with out wheel support) to an amiga?

I've found this:
http://rdc.gfns.net/ps2m/index.html

But it looks scarily difficult, and I'd need to learn how to program pic chips as well.

I'm hoping that there is a nice convertor box avail somewhere, that will make my life easy. I've seen on ebay one for the Serial port, but I don't want to block that port up in case I need it...

Thx ppl for your learned opinions!

I intend to connect it up to to my Belkin 8-way KVM switch, so compatibility on that score is a must.

I shall now go away and consider my options...
