I did the same thing with the 800dpi genius optical mouse only i installed the pic in the DE9 housing, so its all self contained and no adapters needed, i used the project on aminet to program the pic chip.


It's an excellent solution. Thanks to RDC, we have it in various realizations (including industrial). But PIC scheme requires more experience and more expensive. Support mouse at the same level (PS/2 and Combo).
A1230@50MHz/32M/80G, Mediator PCI (S3 ViRGE/DX 4M, RTL8139), GBS-8200, AOS 3.9;
A2000@7.14MHz without all :laugh1:

I assume Atari Track Ball.

 Natively the Atari trackball does not work as an Amiga mouse. But there was an article on how to modify it to work as one. I did it once. Unfortunately that trackball fell when packing for a show and I don't have it anymore. I think they called it the Atari (or Amiga) trackmouse. That might make looking for the instructions easier. Would likely have been an issue of Amazing Computing.
