Putting USB on this mouse must be an interesting
exercise...
I acquired it with the USB conversion in place from a former Bell Labs employee who was
there when they "upgraded" several.
I plan to reverse-engineer it one of these days and make the same mod on another that I
have. It has a second PCB inside with a few components, and a funky wire split where some
leads connect to the additional board, and some to the original.
It makes a great daily driver and conversation starter!

One of mine has USB and works acceptably under Windows 8, though I have to occasionally
disconnect and reconnect it, as the driver cuts out from time to time.
Do you have a DMD terminal to use with yours?
At the other end of the Depraz mouse hangs a 30 years old Lilith Modula2 machine.
