WTB: Acorn Mouse *** SORTED! ***

[Kieran]

Just on the offchance that one of you lot has an old Acorn/Archimedes lying about in your loft somewhere...

I need an Acorn 3 button mouse - The ones that have a connector that's unique to the Acorn range. It looks similar to a PS/2 connector, but it isn't.

I know where I can get new/refurbished mice and PS/2 adapters, but they're quite expensive.

Anyone got one?

Warning! Obscure request alert! Warning!


But - you never know!

You firing up the old beast then?

[fluffnik]

Anyone got one?

A friend of mine used to have Acorns; I'll ask if he still has a mouse kicking about...

[Nutter_John]

now if you asked me about 7 years ago I would have said yes but alas i'm afraid not

but you have got me interested what you doing with the old kit then :D

[Kieran]

Bump!

Seeing as you asked John, I'm wanting to try out an A4000 as a workstation. Problem is that this A4000 didn't come with a mouse, and as you probably know, RiscOS isn't much use without one!

First quastion: Why? RiscPC was only "okay" in it's day! Or are you being "native", in which case you're a brave man and good luck!
Second question: Have you tried ringing a few local schools to borrow one?
