VintageWare PS/2 Mouse Adapter for Apple

Those of you who were at KansasFest last week may have seen Jay Edwards 
demonstrating my PS/2 mouse adapter. It's a small adapter which lets a 
PS/2 mouse (as used with IBM PC-compatibles) plug into an Apple mouse 
port. It works with the mouse port on the AppleMouse card and the built-
in mouse port of the Apple IIc, IIc+ and Laser 128. It should also work 
with the older Macintosh computers (128K, 512K, Plus), but I don't have 
one to test it on.

The adapter has a pair of microcontrollers inside which translate the PS/
2 protocol into the Apple mouse format. No software changes or drivers 
are needed on the Apple side. 

With this adapter you can now use modern mice, including optical or 
cordless PS/2 models, on an Apple II.

I've set up a web site for selling the adapter via PayPal at <http://
vintageware.orcon.net.nz/>. You can also find pictures and more 
information there. The price is US$22.00 each, plus US$5.00 per order 
for airmail delivery anywhere in the world. If you're in New Zealand you 
can also pay in NZ dollars, see the web site for instructions.

If anyone has any questions just ask here and I'll be happy to answer 
them.
