I have Hockey-puck ball and Hawley types, also VSXXX-GA (Early logitech
style) I've written the Linux driver for this mouse
and its protocol is not compatible with anything else. So if you want
to use such a mouse on eg. a PeeCee, you either need to write a proper
driver for it (if the operating system doesn't have one), or put a
microcontroller in between for protocol conversion to PS2.
So is there some big cache of these things (other than the $80 e-bay ones)?
