Possibly ones with an A2 number will work but I also
was under the distinct impression that since the IIc's
game port doubles as a mouse port that the mouses
were wired differently. All I know for sure is that all
the M0100 mouses I have don't work and all the ones
marked IIe don't work and all the ones with IIc on the
label do work. So, IMHO, if you get one that is marked
IIc you run a better risk of it working. I also read about
a hack where you add a resistor or diode, can't remember
which now to the IIc motherboard and it allows either
one to work. There is also a paddle thing you can do, but
I'm not so sure I would mess with that. ;-) I now have 2
IIc mouses that work, and 3 IIc's so I'm looking for one
more. Very little I need now but much more WANTS.
