Hi Guys,
I have a vintage mouse - probably from early 90s - it has MALE com plug.
What computer is it supporting?

There is only name of the mouse and serial number: NAKSHA s/n UG6258

Probably something other than a PC, like an Atari ST or Amiga, with the proper adapter cable that you are apparently missing. if it's passive and the pinout is documented, you might be able to make one, if you need a mouse for one of those systems.

EDIT: Or an Amstrad

thank you, it looks like it is amstrad - i have only mouse cable, no expansions, and looking at photo from ebay direct cable is for amstrad, then you can add expansion to connect with atari or amiga...
