Re: Apple IIc mouse replacement

A mouse was optional and definately not necessary to use the IIc. 

Well... MousePaint is a bit hard to use without a mouse....

The

9-pin serial mice from older Mac's will work, an Amiga mouse will not.

I have found a long forgotten Apple IIc in a friend's attic recently, and


I'm


trying to revive it. Now it practically works, and I have just a little


pro-


blem: its mouse is missing! (There was a mouse in the box, but it's


definitely


a serial mouse.)

Has anyone any idea about replacing an Apple IIc mouse with something


else?


I live in Hungary, so buying one in the USA is not a very good solution


for


me. There is an official Apple distributor here as well, but it does not


want


to know anything about "outdated" hardware :-(

Looking at the connector pinouts, I suspect that an Amiga mouse may have


com-


patible signals (but different pinout). Has anyone tried it?
