Do IBM mice work on the Amiga?

Only the IBM bus mice.
However, you will need to either re-wire the mouse's plug, or use an
adapter since the Amiga's mouse port uses a db-9 plug, and I believe is
wired differently from what an IBM expects.

RE: IBM Mice
As Ron said, only IBM Bus mice work on an Amiga with an adapter cable. The only
reason to use a IBM Bus mouse like the Logitech Mouseman, which I use..is the
higher quality and 400dpi. The Mouseman is the best mouse I've ever used, most
comfortable too. It's the most expensive mouse for the Amiga, but you get what
you pay for.

Ray,
I haven't used the Logitech Mouseman … but my all time favorite mouse is
the one that came with the A3000 Unix machine. The mouse that came with
my 4000 is a piece of junk (by far worse than the mouse that came with my
1000, 2000, or 3000). When the Unix machine was first released I got my
local service tech to order me one… it's very nice.
