Have you tried AmigaKit? They have this available other than that try Amibay.
hmm, not sure if i want to spend that kind of cash! I know its not loads but there must be a cheaper way! :p
will a ps/2 mouse work via an adapter?
They work very well with an adapter. Unfortunately they cost over twice as much. Have a look here.
ah right! well i have a normal cheapo ps2/serial adapter. this not the same thing then im guessing!:unsure:
I have one of those mice! They are rather good, very comfortable and quite accurate.Quote:

Your best bet is to pop over to Amibay.com (a sister site to classicamiga) and have a look in the for sale section as I remember someone had a few mice they were looking to sell. Or post a wanted advert for one. I'm sure someone will be able to help.
BTW, welcome back to classicamiga. It's been a long time. :thumbs:
Hey, harrison! Its great to be back! My love affair with the amiga is a very on off one lol! :cool:
so i tried the adapter that i have with a old ps\2 mouse that i found but no joy. It would never be that easy would it! I suppose those other adapters mentioned arent that price for no reason!
Reading the rules on amibay not sure i'd be welcome on with only a hotmail email:huh2: so I have got my eye on a 'tank' (never heard it called that - but i like it!) mouse on ebay.
One last thought, would a pc serial mouse work? maybe something like this? doubt it but thought i'd ask!
Thanks for all you help guys! loving the quick responses too!!:notworthy:
You can't currently register on Amibay with a hotmail account, but if you do want to join PM me and I can set an account up for you.
You got no chance there, I just binned 4-5 mouses as I have 2 nice working ones :(
nah dont worry, i am currently bidding on a cheapy one on ebay but that doesnt come through i'm sure i'll get back to you! Thanks anyway!Quote:

ok not having much luck on ebay now:no:. how much do you think an old "tank" style mouse is actually worth:huh2:!?
if you could do you magic on amibay for me harrison (with the same details as from the other day if poss), i'll see if i have much luck on there. cheers mate!
You still can get some on the german eBay:

Thanks for that, might end up having to import one lol! Realistically how much do you think i should have to pay for just any old working amiga mouse?!Quote:

That could be a good auction to win. You could then sell the rest on AmiBay. ;)
As for value. No Amiga mouse is really worth more than a couple of pounds at most these days.
I will set the AmiBay account up for you and let you know once it is active.
haha yeah i saw that, wouldnt be a bad idea ;)Quote:

Let me know if you can now access your AmiBay account. If not I may need to manually activate it for you.
Yep, all working! THANKS AGAIN!Quote:

@Amigakit
I've been meaning to ask. How is Amigakit structured? I know the site redirects users to different parts depending on where you are from, but where is the actual company based? And where did it begin? Is there a physical presence in each country supported? Or is it one main company/person, and the products get distributed from there?
@Loftus
I have a mouse you can have for free ;-) I sent you a PM about it.
Nathan
cant find them on the site, how much would that be all in all then!? i have been offered one for £5.50 on amibay. as for my ebay exploits this is what im having to contend with;Quote:

To answer your questions (as best I can). Amigakit is based in Ely, Cardiff, South Wales. If I remember correctly from what I have been told, the site is based in UK, but when you select your country, it tailers the site for your currency etc etc.
Thats about all I can answer at the moment. Im sure amigakit will correct me if im wrong.
How big is Amigakit? Number of employees? Cool that you will be working for them. What will you be doing. We will have an insider! ;)
i have similar adapter made it for me a guy from England.. this is not support whit all but working perfect with TRUST MI6200 laser mouse!

@Anemos
Do you have any information about that mouse adapter? Schematics would be great.
no i dont made this.. perhaps is aminet mod > http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/mouseps2
i dont open it yet..
but think this mod use the PIC16F84 chip,and needed EEPROM Flash Programmer.
I've found a webpage with a DIY PS/2 to Amiga Mouse controller. It can be found here. I'm sure with modification it would be easy to get it to plug straight onto the pins on the 1200 mobo so it could easily be used in a PC tower case.
yes same thinks , also you need PIC programming , they all dont have eeprom programmers.. also i dont have yet.
Last off topic, best to email Amigakit and ask all those questions harrison.Quote:
