NOTE: This file describes how to modify a Mouse Systems M3 serial mouse
so that it will directly replace the normal Amiga mouse. Although this
requires a little tinkering with the mouse, I think it is preferable because
it it TOTALLY compatible with ALL software and does not tie up a serial port.
Of course, I discovered this AFTER writing the OptMouse serial mouse program.

Inside my Mouse Systems M3 serial mouse is a row of 10 holes with pin 1
closer to the center of the mouse. Wired as follows, it works perfectly
on my Amiga:
Mouse Amiga
1 ----- 9
2 ----- 5
3 ----- 6
4 ----- 1
5 ----- 3
6 ----- 4
7 ----- 8
8 ----- 7
9 ----- 2
10 NC
All you need is a length of nine-conductor wire, a DB-9S connector, and
minimal soldering skills and you're set.
This probably doesn't apply to other Mouse Systems mice, like the M2 and M4,
and may not even be true for other revisions of the M3. Be warned.
