I have three or four DEC round mice of various styles and vintages sitting
in a cabinet; I'm sure I could be convinced to part with one for the right
price. I don't recall if it's a ball mouse or a Hawley mouse. Depending on
my "stock levels" you might be able to have your pick, LOL.
If a tablet is more your style, I have one DEC VSXXX-AA compatible graphics
tablet as well that I wouldn't miss... It seems to be pretty similar to a
Summagraphics Summasketch tablet, except sans the wall wart, and with a DEC
mouse connector swapped in for the 9-pin D-sub connector.
I did test the tablet and several of the mice on a VAXstation 3100 maybe 15
years ago and it worked fine at that point in time.
Generally I use my DEC machines with serial consoles so the mice don't get
used much. I got halfway through a USB-to-serial converter for them (at
this point, I guess I have a PIC-based DEC mouse tester), with the
intention of maybe using one on a desktop machine (it is the best mouse
ever made, after all, IMO) so I want to keep a few for development of that
plus a spare, but I don't really need all the units that I have on hand.
These are stateside. A round mouse could ship in a small USPS flat rate
box; obviously the tablet would cost a bit more to ship. I would also
potentially be interested in accepting trades on selected Q-bus and Unibus
boards in lieu of payment... just follow up with me if you're interested.
Best,
Sean

I *might* have one or two of those in storage back in London... But I
sold the last 2 definitely-identified spares before I moved out, for
about ?25 each, on eBay.
