I do believe that's the same guy who's trying to sell this http://www.allegro.pl/item149957744_...i_nowosc_.html. The difference is that his asking 89 zl for it which amounts to something like 16 GBP. For all you price conscious people out there
![]() It's probably one of those homemade ps2m converters that keropi is talking about. Last edited by ppill; 21 December 2006 at 14:19. |

Maybe Atari and Amiga mice are compatible ?
This looks something little bit different cause ps2m doesn't support third button, and as far as I know you need a software driver for it and only works at workbench. Or he fixed the third button function to something (like select contents or something) and it can't be changed. |

@jope: why autodetect the computer? it takes power, and simply does a dummy translation of the mouse data, ps2->amiga serial.... it does not need to know anything more, just needs a data feed

Because even though the signals are compatible between the Amiga and ST, two signals are on swapped pins in the connector. The horizontal and vertical quotients, if I remember right.
If you're really interested, check HWB. Perhaps Atari has some output signal on one pin that the adapter can detect and then swap the lines. |

Back in the day - God im getting old _ replacement mice often had a switch on the base to select between Amiga and Atari (eg Logic3 Speedmouse)
