Geneve BUS mouse adapter

[Shift838]

This poll is to gauge interest for a new Geneve BUS mouse adapter that allows for a Logitech Series 9 BUS mouse or a Vintage Leaguer International Corp. 400 DPI Bus Mouse LG-BM-3816 (to be tested - but has the same pinout as the Logitech). 

 

This adapter will allow a user to connect a different bus mouse to the Geneve if it uses a 9 pin Mini DIN connector and has the same wiring pinout as the Logitech Series 9 BUS mouse.

 

The adapter will run $10-13$ assembled + shipping.

 

The adapter will plug directly into the back of the Geneve, or if using the 838-PEB with the Geneve a pigtail cable will be needed.

The Atari ST mouse is also a good candidate for Genny: http://www.ti99.com/geneve/index.php?fr/article8/modification-d-une-souris-atari-st

based on your schematic from your page, i may be able to add a 9-pin male connector on the end so an Atari ST mouse could be used as well.

i believe the C7 mouse is only serial, not BUS.

The Bus Mouse XOP's for the 9938 are in the Video XOP.  In the next release of MDOS, the TIPI XOP that will be documented will contain the necessary information for accessing a mouse connected to the TIPI.

Correct, sorry if I wasn't clear on that. Mike created the Asgard Mouse which was a serial mouse. While I often don't understand them, I enjoy reading technical books and thought someone else might enjoy seeing the serial mouse protocol.

I don't know whether there was a "standard" in the PC world for serial mice that all the manufacturers followed.  I thought back in the day, they had separate mouse drivers for PC computers.

the original asgard mouse that i purchased way back when was a genius GM-6 with an asgard sticker over the genius name on top

and indeed was serial connected to the serial card
