A while ago I bought an unboxed "1351 mouse" on ebay. I've finally gotten the time to really dig into the p64 sequencer finally, but the mouse isn't behaving as expected. IT looks identical to every 1351 I've seen online, but I have to configure sequencer for an Amiga mouse to get it working, and it messes up the keyboard response regardless of whihc port it's attached to (including the enter key, which makes it tough to save work, although I can get it working again by movign the mouse usually). IS this a 1352 mouse? If it is, can I get full 1351 functionality out of it somehow? If not, anyone have an extra 1351 to sell?
oh that's because it's the amiga mouse, and not the 1351. they look basically the same but there's no "1351" indication on the bottom ;]

Aha. I thought the Amaiga mouse had a grey case rather than white. Still seems better than the Atari mouse I found on the street* the day after I ordered p64.
*still regret not grabbing the Atari ST that it was attached to!
How complicated would it be to design a pc to c64 mouse converter?
Or alternatively, mod a pc mouse?
Does anyone in here ave the electronics skills to make this happen since firestarter seems to have disappeared and there is nothing on protovision's site indicating any development of micromys.

A mouse converter is a feature of the midi interface

Nope, it's got the RMB problem like the Atari mouse, but not as bad. IT interferes with the return key a lot, which makes saving a pain, but you can get it to work by moving the mouse around before you hit it. Usually takes 3 or 4 tries. Annoying but not totally prohibitive.
I wonder how easy it would be to mod the amiga mouse.

I guess it was. Not anymore.

I'm building a couple of mouse converters actually. I've even bought a lot of serial mice to use with the converters so I can offer a good price on them, but it seems nobody but Tonka was interested. It's not my design, so i'm building them at cost price too!
FWIW, I think the mouse converter will be a feature of the MIDI card, just not for a while .

I'm not sure of the exact cost, somewhere in the region of £20-25, including the mouse.
That's not bad considering the price of knackered old 1351 in this country, but ymmv.
