Whoops! My answer was accurate but incomplete: While you can use a Lisa
mouse on a Fat Mac or Mac 128 or original Macintosh or Apple ][ mouse card
or //c or Lisa, the reverse is not true. The non-Lisa Apple mice with
the DE-9 won't plug into the Lisa unless you file the locking tabs off of
the Lisa mouse port...the connector hood won't fit over the latching
connector.
Hey, if the thread is going to be pedantic, I ought to get my own
contribution right!
