  • Re: About PC mouse on C64

    I've just found it. This was my first modded serial mouse, from 1990s. Its details are somewhere deep in my website (http://cbm.ficicilar.name.tr/). If you adjust the variable resistor correctly, it does not interfere with the keyboard.

    BTW, at the time I wasn't aware of the Amiga mouse protocol; apparently I had reinvented it, but in reverse directions. Basically, both decode the raw data from the photodiodes. For Amiga compatibility you need to switch pins 1 and 2.

    Here, the original document: http://cbm.ficicilar.name.tr/uncorrected/pc64mice.txt

    Related programs and such are in the parent directory.

    Hello There;

    If you interested, the way to plug a PC mouse to C64 via joyport
    is explained at:
    http://www.physics.metu.edu.tr/~filker/cbm.html

    I've included a device driver for GEOS also. So that you can use a PC
    mouse with GEOS.

    You can e-mail me, if you have trouble with the method.

    bye,
