Thanks, Jim. Just three wires on the serial IBM mice? that could explain the cheap $10.00 price tag on the item at the computer store (Fry's Electronics, Manhattan Beach, Californial). Stephen Paschke, Gardena, California (Remember: Attire is what's worn by a wheel)

Steve, Yeah, I suppose they could save enough on the cable to make up for the added complexity in the mouse.:) It's more due to the fact that there are more clones with spare serial ports than bus ports. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga

Hi Stephen. Are you looking for an Amiga mouse? I belive I have a few Mega Mice laying around the shop. If you need to buy one, call me at 609-625-0472, or email me. Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
