If it does not work it probably isn't an Amiga mouse, or it is damaged. Perhaps it is an Atari mouse. Look at the bottom of the mouse if there is a switch. Some mice could be switched between Amiga and Atari mode.

Could also be a serial PC mouse. In this case don't connect it to an Amiga, you will destroy the electronics.

Maybe it's destroyd...

How can it destroy the electronix by connecting the PC mouse to the amiga?

Sorry for my english...it suxxx realy...



The PC serial port has exactly the same kind of connector as an Amiga joystick (9pin D-sub.), but the lines are used completely different. Connecting +5V or ground directly to a data line will roast the electronics.
