     This seems to depend, at least partly, upon the software. For
example, 816 Paint for IIe will not work on a IIc+ with our M0100
mouse-- the cursor just drifts down the screen with each move. Dazzle
Draw will work with the M0100 mouse (although the mouse is slow-- takes
more movement to get from A to B.)

     That's interesting. Maybe it would solve my 816 Paint problems on
the IIc+. An A9M0050 mouse is something to look for at the next swap
meet!

     Don't know. For sure, the IIe mouse card interface is a lot
'smarter'.
