Funky looking mouse and other TCF stuff...

Hi
I found an old email from you on the web:
http://www.classiccmp.org/mail-archive/classiccmp/1997-04/0324.html

Hi guys, just wanted to say what I got at TCF.
I managed to get there at 3:45 on Sunday (15 minutes before closing on the
last day of the show.) Anyway here's what I got:

2 Seagate MFM Hard Drives *FREE*
1 Sysquest tape(?) drive *FREE*

  the tape drive is about the size of a CD-ROM, what is it?

1 Apple IIe Users Guide *FREE*
  (why? I dunno, it was in the trash)

1 CBM 8032 $5
  (this things got some kind of memory board that plugs into the CPU
     socket and a parallel interface)

1 Funky Mouse *FREE*

This last thing I need help with. It looks to be about 20+ years old but
I could be wrong... It is bright red, almost perfectly round, has a steel
ball as the roller, 3 black switches, and says "5271" and then "DEPRAZ -
MOUSE" on the bottom. It has what looks likea standard serial cable. The
guy said it was for a terminal right before he threw it out. Any ideas?
More importantly.... do you think I could use it on my PeeCEE? 8)

PS what'd everyone else get at TCF?

If you are still interested in the origin of the funky looking red
mouse, I can tell you. I got one myself. So before I write down the
whole history, give me an note whether you are still interested in it.


Greetings from Basel, Switzerland,

Beatrice.
