Close :-) the 1350 and 1351 are *both* Commodore 8-bit mice. The 1350 is
a non-proportional joystick emulation mode mouse, and the 1351 is a true
proportional, with a 1350 emulation mode built-in. I forget the designation
for the Amiga mouse, but it isn't the 1351 or 1350; you are correct in
that none of the 8-bit mice work on the Amiga. But the joysticks will!
