You and Tony are knocking the addition of a simple hex inverter as a quick
and simple method that nearly anyone with basic electronics skills can use
to make a quadrature output mouse, how many people have PIC programmer
lying around? Yes the PIC based converter is the best solution in the
whole world, yes my approach which works and took about 1 hour in total is
crap and shouldn't be used by anyone. No need to respond, there's enough
noise on this damm list already and i've just added to it. Anybody know of
a classic computing list 1. has a better signal to noise ratio and 2. has a
volume suitable for those who don't have copious spare time.
