- Ummm, my ST's 5 year old mouse finally died...
- When it wouldn't move to the left without fighting it, I took it apart. My
- efforts to figure out what was wrong with it resulting in one of the plastic
- tabs that holds the spinning disk's axle in place broken. Thus my spinning
- disk no longer stays in... I have a couple of PC Mice laying around that
- I might be able to convert if I can get a schematic or a textfile explaining
- the conversion. I'm kinda handy with a soldering iron so I think I can do
- the changeout.
-
- I checked out atari.archive for a textfile, but either it ain't there
- or I couldn't find it.
-
- Thanks!
