This is kind of off topic but when I had an Apple IIC I found a mouse that used the special mousepad I can't remember the model, I bought it in the US somewhere out of Florida. I think it would be easier with the DB9 serial mice, but they are scarce. 😞 Terry Raymond On Nov 19, 2017 4:51 PM, "Mia Magnusson" <mia@plea.se> wrote: Den Sun, 19 Nov 2017 19:04:51 +0100 skrev silverdr@wfmh.org.pl: > > > On 2017-11-19, at 18:55, smf <smf@null.net> wrote: > > > > Optical mice shine an led on the surface and then watch the surface > > move.

B.t.w., while we are discussing low volume demand for mice in the early 80's: Do you remember those "mouse holders" that were sold to PC users who only occasionally used their mice for some specific applications? I assume most of those has been thrown away in the 90's. Would somehow be kind of nice to have with a C64 mice or similar :) -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
