The Amiga uses the 1352 mouse also. Most amiga mice after the 1000
have a Molded (sealed plastic) DB9 connector that has a slim ferule
(metal band around (and parallel to) the holes - some are labeled
1352 or amiga. The 1350 (joystick mouse) and 1351 look identical on
the outside with a big chunky plastic block with metal shield that
has screw holes on the wings perpendicular to the DB9 holes (almost
never identifed on the bottom). The A1000 mouse has a right angle
bend on the DB9 connector. A look inside at the chip(s) will tell
you which is which - the 1351 has that proprietary ic (I don't recall
designation ATM). The Amiga 1352 has a common type of logic IC.
