Micromys V4 featuring auto-detect
Micromys V4 is here, and it comes with a world's first: Auto-detect of the computer that it's connected to. While Micromys V3 was configured using two DIP-switches, the new V4 version eliminates these switches and makes the adapter a lot more user-friendly.
There are five modes of operation:
Micromys V4 comes with a new, longer cable, which improves usability for Atari users, where the mouse connector is located underneath the keyboard. The "dongle design" is a drastic improvement over competitor's solutions, where the use of PS2->USB adapters creates a long lever that can put a lot of mechanical stress on the computer's mouse port. The new, smaller case allows much cheaper shipping methods, reducing the overall cost for the user. There are two target machines with space constraints around the mouse port: Amiga 600 and C128 require an adapter (or extension cable) with a smaller plug, or mechanical modification of the Micromys DB9 connector.

Hmm, auto detect, eh.. I wonder what's so different in port 1.
If only I could be bothered to dig out a C-64. The multimeter is already on the table beside me. :-) |

Jens,
I just ordered the Indivision AGA MKII for the A1200 and the Micromys V3, both of which are on backorder at AmigaKit. Do you think I will get the V3 or the V4 of the device? |

I'm not delivering Micromys V3 any more - the units that are left here are just for possible warranty cases. If AmigaKit has V3 on backorder, they will most probably send you V4. However, I can't tell for sure - only AmigaKit can do that.

That sounds fine. I'd rather receive the v4 version of the product.
I opened a support ticket with AmigaKit on that topic. Thanks Jens. |

Hi:
I just want to talk about this product that I recently bought at AmigaKit. It's superb . You plug it in and the mice moves smoothly. Later just installing the drivers and rebooting you've got scroll with the mice wheel. It's true that AmiKit Real is already configured with FreeWheel, so I've made nothing to have the scroll working appart of the Micromys drivers. I think this product has very few publicity (Jen isn't posting here daily links to Ebay like others do, and the last post here was 2 years ago). Conclusion: Marvellous device that I recommend.
