The mouse I
have has a more 'square' mouse button as opposed to the long, thin
'rectanguar' mouse button sometimes seen with these machines: The mouse
is marked:
M0100
*G442MO10006348*
Standard Mac 128k/Plus mouse. The main variation would be
whether it was beige or 'platinum' colored.
Also, the mouse connector on the motherboard
doesn't mate well with the
mouse I have. There are no 'receptacles' to catch the thumbscrews on
the mouse, and there ins't the ususal metal 'band' around the D-Sub
connector on the motherboard. It's either not supposed to be there, or
it acts as a ground and is missing. I suspect this why the mouse
doesn't register button clicks but I'm not sure.
The original Lisa mice seem to have had an oddball clip
connector. I've not actually seen one though, as I use a Mac Plus
mouse with mine and my Lisa has the more standard D-sub connector
with the screw stanchions. On one of my tests, I didn't have my
mouse mated squarely and it wouldn't move the cursor up or down on
the screen though it would move it sideways. Tightening the
right-most screw on the connector solved this problem.
