Subject: Re: IIc+ mouse `A+ Little Mouse'
That's what I was afraid of. If I had some software, I'd try the pad to my
sun-whatever optical. You wouldn't happen to know if there's any built-in
goodies, would you?
Thanks.

The same afternoon, I came across a ][c, with PS, in an apple-branded soft
case. I was pretty excited to see the PS, as the ][c+ was bare, nothing but
the box, and snapped up the ][c as well. It wasn't until I got around to
trying it out that I realized my error... :)
Found a IIc+ the other day at the thrift store,
someone screwed up, it
was only marked $7something.
Nice. Had a mouse attached to it, and it wasn't
until I
got it home that I noticed it was an optical mouse. Mfgr'd by Mouse
Systems... It seems that the IIc+ will take the older DE9 style Mac
mice, so this might be for one of those.
Didn't know they made them like that. AFAIK, it's possible to swab
pins around and use that with an Amiga, too. I *know* you can make
a pin swabber for an MS Bus Mouse.
Does this little guy need a fancy pad?
I would expect so. They are much rarer than the mice. Also, any pointers to IIc+ specific
sites? I'm googling, but I'd appreciate any hints.
I'd love to hear about them, too. I got my //c+ for $15 at a hamfest,
monitor and Imagewriter and external 5.25" drive included.
Nice score, Bob.
