Hi

Couple of Apple IIGS questions (BTW I've just added a 540MB hard disk
and 4MB memory to the system):

1) Booting into GS/OS my mouse doesn't do anything. This is the first
time I've tried to use an application that uses the mouse (only had the
system for a month). Do I need to set something up in GS OS to allow me
to use the mouse? It doesn't seem to work in any of the games either
e.g. Wolfenstein 3D.

2) Relating to the above question, does anybody know where I can buy a
second hand Apple IIGS mouse?

3) Could I purchase an old Mac mouse (ADB?) and plug this into my IIGS
keyboard and use this port instead of the game port at the back of the
IIGS?

4) I've managed to get hold of a IIGS RBG cable, is there a location on
the Internet that I can find the IIGS RBG cable pin outs so that I can
create my own cable?

5) While I'm trying to get my mouse working, is there somewhere on the
Internet that lists all GS OS keyboard shortcuts?


Sounds like you're trying to use a 9 pin mouse plugged into the game
port on th back of the IIgs. If so this doesn't work that way on the
IIgs, you need an adb mouse plugged into the IIgs keyboard. Any Apple
(Mac)adb mouse will work.
