P2AM -- PS/2 mouse for your 16-bit Atari/Amiga

P2AM -- PS/2 mouse for your 16-bit Atari/Amiga

Dear Amiga users,

we have some nice stuff for your beloved machines. We've got tired by fixing old Atari/Amiga mices, "spamming" recent Atari/Amiga dealers / hardware makers if they really are out of stock with Atari/Amiga mices and/or converters for connecting some recent (PS/2, USB) ones.

Fortunately (for you ;) we have made a decision to produce own batch of hardware. What is this all about? Yes, we're going to produce completely new batch of PS/2 adapters for every Atari/Amiga 16-bit computer! You can use any PS/2 mouse and connect it to your Atari/Amiga. No need for soldering or changing the original case -- everything fits into nice little box connected by thin cable directly to your mouse port.

In case you already owns our previous piece of hardware -- SatanDisk -- you're aware of the fact we mean it seriously, you can count on quality, good support and communication and mainly -- damn fair prize! One PS/2 converter (we call it P2AM -- as PS/2 to Atari/Amiga Mouse) will cost you only 15 Euros! Compare that prize to PeST or any other PS/2 converter...

And finally, you can ofcourse buy (nearly) any of that fancy USB->PS/2 converters and connect USB mouse to your Atari/Amiga in this way!

Since the SatanDisk production we gained also a lot of experiences and got quite a feedback from you, users,  we've completely remade our "business websystem", you're going to be damn surprised how friendly and professional looking is now ;)

One last note: there wont be pre-order phase. So please take a very good look, when is the deadline for payment shipping. After this date we can't guarantee you will be able to buy anything. And of course, please, tell all your Atari/Amiga friends about this, you wouldn't believe how very late we received some requests for SatanDisk availability... be careful this time! ;)

Chain: a little bit more decency wouldn't hurt. i assure you and all possible other people who are interested in our project -- our goal is to provide a solution for people who aren't able to build it by themselves. nothing more, nothing less. our "profit" (it's really even crazy to call it like that) is absolute minimum, just for fun -- try to produce something like this on your own. i'd be very interested in the final sum.

about ripping some others work -- this isn't true. at first, we certainly didn't use mentioned works (both "DIY" and yours url). To prove that, we're going to publish original PCBs and sources which are (c) but someone completely else. And yes, we contacted him and he has nothing against our work.

Now I see that deep difference between our scenes... I'm begin to think, it was hard mistake to offer such product to Amiga scene, this is nothing but crap and you people probably deserve nothing more than competing in your frog wars... i know, now i'm generalizing but i have never seen such arrogant behavior from atari people... everyone is thankful we're doing something to support our beloved machines.. but you guys...:/

Nope, it's similar but neither this one. When I came back home, I will make corrections to our web to (let's hope) everyone's satisfaction.

about that's mouse wheel: i have to test it, on atari we have support for it on some (even opensource) solutions, too but of course it's based on different approach.

Hi guys,

so -- bad news, mouse wheel isn't supported. I don't say it's impossible (it's just matter of reinterpreting mouse wheel packets differently for both atari and amiga) but we have certainly no time for this now (and to be honest, also no motivation -- most people are happy with simple mouse without wheel as do I).
