: Hi all,
:
: I was very hopeful when I discovered that I can connect a modern mouse
: to a IIGS using the GeeThree PS/2 to ADB adapter
: (http://www.geethree.com/p_ADB.html).  I decided to pick one up to see

: GS/OS just fine -- unfortunately, whenever the mouse is first moved,
: the IIGS slows to a crawl and becomes unresponsive.

: Has anyone else had this issue?

: I'd hate to not be able to use an optical mouse on a IIGS, and ADB mice

ADB mouse is not hard to find yet. I did a search for
"ADB mouse" on eBay and found 95 selections, some with
keyboard included. Would be nice to use PS/2 mouses with
the IIgs though. Or USB even.
