    Apple IIGS mouse not working HELP!!! :-)

    I might have mousepaint or something like it. Let me look for that.  There are also two other ram cards that came with it, one is an Apple brand memory expansion, the one thats in there is a G Ram or something like that (not an apple brand I know that for sure) there is also another ram card...

    There is a fully loaded RAM expansion card in there, which I believe I saw in one of the GEOS or system information screens that I saw one night, that it has a total of like 1.5 MB of RAM I think that was the GS RAM card.

    removed the SCSI card and ram expansion, and still didnt work. In fact, I tried 2 other RAM expansion cards too, but then the programs didnt boot. So that could mean those ram expansion cards didnt work or didnt have enough RAM chips on them to boot the zany golf game or  bootup the GEOS 5.x...

    Apple IIGS mouse not working HELP!!! :-)

    well I tried 3 different ADB keyboard and 3 different ADB mice, and no combination of them ever allowed the mouse to  work. So that makes it seem like something on the motherboard must be whacky? I realize this machine is REALLY old, but everything else is working just fine.

    Apple IIGS mouse not working HELP!!! :-)

    at least it can play games ;-) (that dont require a mouse) and having the extra memory card in there helps too, (and I see dozens of other little memory chips stored in plastic tubes) which look like ram could be added to one of those memory expansion cards. I assume those chips all work...

    Yeah, its probably like you said, the motherboard. Especially in light of what you said about their history or problems. Also, just today  I think when I have seen them talking about replacing the logic board, they actually meant the ENTIRE motherboard, and not just some little extra logic board...

    Apple IIGS mouse not working HELP!!! :-)

    Yeah, I am trying to make sure I dont need to be loading some mouse drivers, like I had to do on old DOS machines before the mouse would work. Sounds like the ADB mouse should just be working.  And its not. No matter what it just seems to be gone I really thought at first that the ADB-USB...

    Apple IIGS mouse not working HELP!!! :-)

    I recently picked up an Apple IIgs. Everything is working except the mouse. I even tried using the ADB-USB Wombat (which allows you to connect USB mouse and keyboards to an older Apple computer). And the usb mouse did not work either. The ADB keyboard works fine. The USB keyboard works fine...
