however you can connect the serial mouse to the serial amiga port using any 25>9 pin adapter and you can use the mouse on workbench and workbench'friendly apllications...but not on games also you need a driver...you can found it on aminet |

 Just a remark: why do you want to use one? They only will work on Workbench!  No way to modify it to Amiga standard. Only old bus mouse is passive of modification. |

You are better off making the PS/2 PIC adapter project, so that you can add a PS/2 port to your Amiga; the details are on here and on Aminet.

Those old mice came with a switch to toggle Amiga/Atari (at least I had one like this, once upon a time). |

Would have been a Naksha mouse, switchable between Atari ST and Amiga |
