Whewwww  :-D  glad this isn't about one of the
few mice I sold on EBay.

If the mouse isn't spifically rewired to the Amiga
port then it won't work. Serial mice can't be just
rewired to work on the Amiga mouse port (I think).
They require an adaptor like the 'Mr Mysza'.
A Bus Mouse can be rewired.

I just looked at the EBay link. If the buttons are
dead then the mouse is really 'Dead'. But if the
buttons work then you could try opening it up and
clean the contact wheels (not the ball wheels) with
spray contact cleaner. This works for the mice I have.
(I have my doubts about this mouse, I can't sell the ones
I have THAT cheap)

I still have a few 3 button mice that work on the mouse port.
The middle button works with any software that
supports it. The only problem I've found with the mice
I have is they need to be cleaned more often than a
Commodore mouse, other-wise they work great. If anyone
is interested in one, Email me :-)

If anyone here at A.Org has bought one of my
'HeadStart EXPLORER' mice, I would be interested in
hearing your opinion.

As an after-thought (a guess) that mouse is probably
an old stock PC XT serial mouse. You could try getting
a 9 pin adaptor for your serial port and D/L the driver
from Aminet.
