Yeah usually ATI clearly identifies itself.
The thing about this
board
that intrigues me is the mouse socket. It's like a slightly larger
Mac or PS/2 socket. Are there many other unusual mouse plugs. For
Oh yes...
9 pins sounds like a 3 button quadrature-output ('bus') mouse. The 9
signals would be : +5V, Gnd 2 2 sets of
quadrature signals 4 Buttons 3
For a total of 9 signals.
FWIW, Acorn used just this connector on the Archimedes computers. And
I believe some standard bus mice used it (Logitec?). Microsoft mice
were 2-button IIRC, and presumably used an 8 pin connector.

I have a bunch of MS, Mac. Atari, Commodore, Logitec and other
clone mice. They all have either the DB-9,or PS/2 or Mac sub-mini
with keying pin. I seem to remember seeing mice with large round
connectors which I assumed were the same size as K-B ones.
This has a shell diameter of 1/2". Possibly I'm not acquainted with
the round bus mice. I'll have to try the card in a ISA box with CGA
and Mono monitors and hope the magic smoke doesn't escape. It's
about the size of a Hercules card with a much smaller chip count.
Might be just the thing for my heavily modified IBM PC to replace
the outsized color and mono video cards.
Thanks All
