Just like the topic says: I have a db9 serial mouse from a PC. Will it work on a 512k compact Mac?
A much simpler option is to make an Amiga mouse into a Mac one. http://blog.rekawek.eu/2016/12/08/mac-plus/no it wont, changing pins wont do! This modification takes a lot of work.

Note/Warning: This (off-site) page contains useful technical information but also has a "joke" in it that could be offensive to some viewers.
I've seen that page before, and every time I do I wonder if the random anti-Semitic jab is just a standard thing in Poland, or what.
Alas, yes. Sigh. I guess I probably shouldn't have mentioned it, given it's treading dangerously close to the whole "politics" thing; it's just so jarring and random and out of context in a page about tinkering with old mice.But I mean, have you seen what is going on in Poland right now?
Can you elaborate on that? I can see no connection between this site and antisemitism. If you're referring to recent Warsaw incident blown out proportion by some news stations, I think that's not the right place to discuss it. If I were rude I could ask you a question - is children sexual abuse just a random act of violence in your community, or just "standard thing" to you people?I've seen that page before, and every time I do I wonder if the random anti-Semitic jab is just a standard thing in Poland, or what.
Here is what is antisemetic.There are many types of computer mice. But all computer mice types can be divided to three categories:
- Mice with analog output - the most known analog-output mouse was the mouse in Engelbart's NLS (oN Line System) shown in December 1968. They're not used since 1970's, when jews from FCC forced manufaturers to buy more chips and to make transferred signals digital.

I apologize to anyone from Poland who may have been offended. That was me struggling with trying to comprehend why such a thing was just randomly thrown in there, the underlying thought being that perhaps "jokes" like that aren't considered offensive to community standards to the level they are in the US. My wording choice was extremely poor, and I have changed it to a simple warning that the page contains content that may be considered offensive.or just "standard thing" to you people?
Even if he was trying to be funny, anyone who thinks something like that is funny has to be pretty anti-Semitic.Seriously, I genuinely hope the author of the page really was just trying to be "funny" and completely blew it.
