I think button 3 is configured as an input and thus held high by default since it is intended to be the third mouse button but I may very well be wrong. I think I have read Toni mention what the default state was recently in another thread but I just cannot find it.

I am under the same impression. My A500's schematics clearly mention a protection resistor while the online manual for the A600 only shows a tiny EMI thingy which I doubt is a resistor.

Is there a web site with the schematics? I am under the impression that a simple gate array should be enough to generate the needed signal conversions since the CD32 protocol is super simple.

I kind-of recall reading about it in the original manual but the memory is fuzzy and might very well be fabricated. Alas I cannot check since my original is exactly one atlantic ocean away from home and all my recent attempts at teleporting more than two micrometers away from my current position have failed miserably so far.
