English Amiga Board - View Single Post - new hardware suggestion: USB to serial mouse adapter

gizmomelb · 19 December 2006, 03:24

Hi all,

since there doesn't appear to be a forum to discuss designing/building new hardware I thought this was 'the best fit'.

I've been looking around for replacement amiga mice (they're quite rare down this side of the globe) and got to thinking that a USB to Amiga mouse adapter might not be too difficult a thing to make.

ie: Use a PIC or other similar microcontroller to take the USB signals and then convert them into the raw signals that the Amiga mouse port is expecting.

comments or schematics most welcome
