Don't think it's that simple... I have a //c mouse that doesn't work on
my //c, but my IIe mouse does. Both work on the IIe and Mac Plus.
Whether it matters or not I don't know, but if you look at the model
number of the mouse some start with "A2" and some with "M" -- presumably
this would indicate Apple 2 or Macintosh. I've always suspected the
problem (in my case) is with the mouse port on the //c... since it
doubles as the game port maybe there's bug.
