//c mouses

[gospodin@indigo.ie (Vincent Quinn)]

At the risk of re-starting this group's discussion about Apple II mice
that was raging a couple of months ago, is there any way that a Mac Plus
mouse (Apple part number M0100) can be made to work on an Apple //c?
Before we get into the assertions that "all mice are the same", let me say
- they're not. I've tried two different ones on three //c s and I get
exactly the same result as that described in Apple tech note TN0007522,
which says:

"I have a question concerning the 'platinum' Apple //c and a mouse. When
I'm using the mouse, the cursor starts at the top-left corner and moves
straight down to the bottom left of the screen. Why?
- You have come across an incompatibility in mouse timing. The mouse sold
for the Apple //c works properly and mice received from service work
properly. However, mice that came from Macintosh Plus systems sometimes
work and sometimes not, depending on the manufacturer".

OK - that bit about "mice received from service work properly" suggests
that they can be made to work. Anyone know how?
