Hi,
Most mice actually start off with quatrature output position detectors and
are then converted to serial. I had to replace an Amiga2000 mouse once,
ended up removing the mouse chip and wiring the detector outputs straight
into the amiga mouse port - works fine - no PIC required.

secret PDP stash in this part of the world :)

There's been some talk before about adapting those
blasted serial mice
which are so common on the PC (all current PC mouses are serial, whether they
connect to an actual RS232 port or to a "PS/2" connector) to a more sensible
quadrature system. Was it Tony or Pete who talked about making a PIC based
adaptor?
Well, here's your chance, according to the Aminet daily:
