Within "Apple II Csa2 FAQs: Input Devices, Part 15/25"  in section 26
(see below), it says that "Macintosh Plus" mouse works on //c or IIe
with a mouse card. Has anybody actually tried it? Because I can't get my
one working properly. :-(

The ones I've tried have worked but there's a number of different Mac
Plus mice. 6 or 7 years ago I opened up a couple dozen of them and
found about 6 different designs. I remember being surprised that a
mouse with one part number would have several different internal
designs. I wonder if Apple subcontracted them and the subcontractors
designed their own mechanism?

Anyway there have been enough reports of Mac mice mot working with the
IIe and IIc to surmise one of the designs is incompatible.
