If you can't locate a used Amiga mouse, it's possible to rewire a
MicroSoft Bus Mouse - they are electrically, but not physically,
compatible - raw quadrature output, X-PhaseA, X-PhaseB, Y-PhaseA,
Y-PhaseB, Left and Right button. The only active components are
IR LEDs and phototransistors. No chips.
There's also instructions out on the web to hack an Atari Trackball
to the Amiga - I've done it with one from a 7800 and from some other
console model (5300?) - unfortunately, my really nice hacked Wico
unit was stolen in 1990 when they got my A500... it was still
compatible with the Atari... I just put an additional DE-9 on the
side, and you just used the right connector, depending on the target.
*Great* for Marble Madness. :-)
