Hi all,
Does anyone have a spare Acorn mouse, either RISC PC/A5000 (rounded
profile) or Archimedes (angular brick) style?
I can live with broken switches (got a bag of those!) and "it needs a
good clean", but the motion sensors need to work, and it must have a
mouse ball and the cover for the "ball pit".
For anyone who doesn't know what these look like -- they're usually
branded either Logitech or CPC, and have a nine-pin Mini-DIN plug on the
end of the wire. Colour is almost always cream (or murky yellow if
they've been in the sun) or white for the CPC ones.
Basically I need one for my A3000... the blasted PS2Mouse adapter
doesn't fit!
Alternatively if anyone has a chassis-mount 9-pin mini-DIN socket in
their spares box, that'll do just as well (the A3000 has pads on the
motherboard for an 'alternate' mouse port.. I just need the connector)
Thanks,
--
Phil.
