- You can use an IBM PC bus mouse by modifying the cable. You can either
- make a miniDIN 9 pin to DB9 adaptor, as outlined in the Jan 92 Amazing
- computer, or hack off the miniDIN 9 pin plug and put on a 9 pin DB9.
- I am using a Logitech 3 button MouseMan PC Bus mouse with an adaptor cable
- I made. I don't have the magazine handy at the moment, but I could post
- the pin-outs in a day or two.
