I've been succesfully using DG's optical mice (the PCB is labelled ``Mouse Systems'' though) on PeeCee's for several years now. (Our customers used to get Wacom tablets, so they didn't need the mice.) They come with this terrible Mini-DIN plug, all i had to do was cutting it off and solder a regular DB-9 plug in place. If someone needs the wire assignments: yellow - 2 orange - 3 red - 4 black/shield - 5 brown - 7 I've heard that several optical mice used on Suns are actually 3-wire only (the RS-232 versions are 5-wire), so i doubt they will be PC compatible. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
