Technical
The interface can be used with a Genius Bus Mouse.
Holding the PCB so that the mouse port is to the top-right, the following, which is not easy to see from the photos, is written on the PCB:
1. Upper left says "DATEL" 2. Lower middle says "CPC464 MOUSE 5/89" (The 5 is not legible, could be a 6) 3. To the right side are 6 connection points. From to bottom these are labelled 0 (or 8 not easy to see), 4, 3, 2, 1, 6.
The following ICs are inside interface:
ST T74LS367AB TOSHIBA TC4013BP x 2 TOSHIBA TC4047BP 2 resistors at top, one on the other side of the PCB. one capacitor.
The PCB has one 9-pin joystick connector for mouse, and a lead with another 9-pin connector for CPC's joystick port. The interface connects to the back of the CPC. It is claimed this is only necessary for 5V power but this is not confirmed.
It is also claimed that this interface is not compatible with the AMX Mouse, although both report mouse movements as joystick directions.
