Wait, just to make sure i have a correct understanding: The 9 pin connector for those amigas and ataris does not mean those mice are capable of being ordinary serial mice for old PCs?
Because if those are optical mice that support serial interface, then... i want to talk with you in ps! 😀
One of my friend's parents, had a 386 back in the days. And he plugged in an Amiga mouse. For some reason the COM-1 port died. I say for some reason, as I have no idea what actually dies and how and why. All I remembered, was that he plugged it in, ran the driver software and the port died. No magic smoke or any bang, it just went to the grave.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
