 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.
 
 Does this little guy need a fancy pad?

 I would expect so.  They are much rarer than the mice.

 You know, I do believe I have an extra Mouse Systems metal mouse
 pad, that looks a lot like the pad I have for my Sun 
 Optical mouse. I'll
 have to check when I get home tonight.
 If it's the right nodel number for you, you can have it for
 (what's a reasonable price?) plus shipping...

 Thanks!  How can I tell if it's the right one?  Currently, I 
 can't even say if the mouse actually works. 
	Well, I have the pad, which has NDY 402631-001 on a sticker on the
back. It's 7.75" wide by 7" high. about 0.5" smaller, in both
directions,
than my Sun Optical mouse pad. Hmmm, there are a couple scratches on the
right side... Well, considering how old it probably is...

 There are two pads used with Sun mice - type 3/4 mice
 and type 5 mice. You want the older one (coarser grid) 
	I didn't even think of comparing that with my Sun pad. From memory,
I think this one has a coarser grid, but I'm not positive. Let me crack out
my ruler & a magnifying lens...
It appears to be 5 lines per every 2mm.
	My Sun keyboard is a Type 5, But I don't think the optical mouse
came with it. I can check the Sun mouse and pad this weekend...
