Male? Well, at least that means it's
easy to identify (I try to pick up bus
mice for converting into Atari mice). I suppose that this is why M$ call their
mini-DIN port the InPort?
Don't know.
The early Microsoft mice that I have had had soldered on, NOT molded
connectors, so it isn't always even easy to tell whether the connector is
the original/"correct" one.
The GREEN-EYED
Microsoft SERIAL mouse was available with a DB25.
Obviously.
I've seen some LATER Green-eyed serials with female DE9, but I don't know
whether they were built that way, or whether somebody changed connector to
be able to stop using adapters.
