Urgh, apologies for any font issues. Had to copy and paste my reply
as Yahoo failed to deliver it to the classiccmp servers twice! Not sure if
bounced or not, but here's the error message:

This last (and 4th) attempt at replying, is being done from Outlook Express onmy laptop as
opposed to Yahoo's webmail.
My reply:
Would it work with a Famicom (Japanese SNES) mouse? Since it was
compatible with MSX games it might work, but probably doesn't fall
into the
"easily obtainable" category :(

Sure it is!
Interesting how MSX devices are unknown here...They are so popular in
Brazil!
That's just how it goes! OK second part of my question then: what about
the
mouse? What other more easily obtainable mouse would work on the MSX
machine? Commodore made mice with 9-pin connectors for the C64 but I
doubt
it would work or the Amiga one .... and of course, the "serial" mouse
from a
PC I would expect won't work as well.
Or....I guess more easily does anyone out there have an MSX compatible
mouse
they'd like to sell me for the museum? Thanks
