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.
The MSX Mouse is compatible with very few devices. Some Sony video
equipment (like a picture computer I have) and NEC PC-98 computers. Ah, the
Roland S series of samplers (S-50, S-750) uses the same mouse/trackball.
You can build an adapter with a small microcontroller. The schematic is
around the web, I can send you if you need.
