Can a Commodore mouse work as an Amiga mouse?
What the title says. I am wondering if a Commodore proportional mouse can work as an Amiga mouse, or what may be the difference in case it could be modified to work.
Any help apreciated! |

1350 and 1351, I know the 1350 wouldnt work but the 1351, I have never tried.
I think the actual circuitry would be different and not just the pinout. I know they look identical, but arent. edit: a.org thread http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32332 |

Avoid. You can burn the port.

I don't exactly want one of those, I am looking at a Suncom Icontroller. I know there was an Amiga version but I can't find one. I found a C128 one on Amibay but am not sure if it works in Joystick mode or Mouse mode. I hope it works on Joystick mode (then I can use a joy to mouse tool).
Burn the port? That's a bit EXTREME to say the least. any proof to back your claim? |

Don't think it'll burn out anything, but it won't work either.
http://www.ntrautanen.fi/computers/h...351_pinout.htm http://old.pinouts.ru/Inputs/AmigaMouseJoy_pinout.shtml As you can see, the 1351 is connected to the analogue pins. But all in all, get a real Amiga mouse. There is no shortage of those in the world, rather I'd say the 1351 is more rare. :-) The Suncom icontroller is a joystick as far as I remember.

Oh if it is a joystick it should work perfectly! I will give it a shot.

If it's a 1351 mouse, then it has two modes - proportional and joystick. You select the latter by holding down the right mouse button while powering up. I'm pretty sure I did try that on my Amiga 500 a good many years ago.
