Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse
This logic and etc. are all built in on the SSQB (that's the SUPER SuperQBoard v4!) so it has a PS/2 port and a USB socket (PS/2 adaptor, USB only mice will not work)...

Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse
Hi Derek Thanks for that. Making your own seems like a lot of work when USB to PS2 adapters are dirt cheap. Yes I know the mouse would need to understand both PS2 and USB protocols. That's the current PS2 combo mouse type. I will look at the QIMI mouse connection on the Aurora board with the Atari/Amiga USB adapter, but I am also still interested in the serial mouse if it it still available. I will contact you off list about it.

Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse
Thank you Marcel, for that information, I am glad I did not go and buy one to see if it worked. I had not seen that post on your blog. The Aurora board has a QIMI mouse interface integrated on the board but according to the manual it still requires an adapter, In any case I was using the SuperHermes serial mouse port with a combo PS2/serial mouse.

No, this is not an adapter to serial but to Atari/Amiga/QIMI compatible ports.
