Is the Genius GM-7 BUS mouse any good?

[TFM]

No, take beacon, work way better.

Lol. Since we have had a cat adopt our house, I blame her!

You need a dog to chase the cat 

[TFM]

No way, cats are divine! 


Ok, we made it!

No problem with mice at home, i have 3 maine coons  So even dogs are afraid !!! 

More interesting, i have ordered the pcbs. I had to order new MF2 pcb, so i did it also for the dktronic-mouse-interface-clone AKA "
"D-MIC" If you have better ideas for the name you are welcome.

Ok, finally i bought a genius Mouse from Ebay, it cost me an arm, a leg and an eye, but i should receive it in a couple of days...
Price of these pieces of peripherical are very expensive... 40€ the mouse in complete box 

But to test all the cards to make or to be make after, i had no choice.

Let´s see how it works!!  I am really looking forward to connect the mouse to the Amstrad, too bad you had to pay quite a lot for yours

Just sell it with the last interface for 90 bucks and it will be all good. They pay every price now on ebay.

I don't understand, he seems to say it is ATARI ST compatible  is it true ? so Atari's Mice are also working on CPC ?

[TFM]

Dunno about this case, but...




Since a long time I use an AtariST proportional mouse on my 6128 (not working with Plus). All it need is an easy joystick adapter and a 5 V supply for the mouse. FutureOS supports it too. Let me see if I find a link...


Atari-ST mouse adapter - CPCWiki


I also use an AtariST trackball this way for FutureOS and G-Paint 2.0 - very smooth and nice.

Well when i have time i will try to connect an atari mouse to Craigsbar's dktronic to see if it works... 
But the ebay seller may not know what he is selling...

Lol, now *that* would be a first.

[talrek]

And that is just great! 

[TFM]

Well now i've got mine too 

Does it work? Any first results? Sorry, I'm curious and impatient by nature. 

[talrek]

No i didn't try, the pcbs are on their way , just a couple of weeks to wait

Believe it or not, he sells his mouse as Atari's mouse... He is right, it is fully compatible i tried it with an Atari ST. So i was able to verify my recent mouse was fully functionnal 

So, Genius mouse is compatible with Spectrum, Amstrad and Atari without any modification. It shoud be also Amiga compatible (two wires to invert)
