Apple Mice differences?

[macdownunder]

Does anyone have an original IIc Plus (Platinum) mouse? I am curious if the A2M4015 was changed to platinum or if they simply used the Macintosh Plus mouse design across the board.

I have the IIc Plus (Platinum) mouse - it is a Mac Plus style mouse not the smoother cream //c mouse design.

I am sorry to revive an old thread but I just received an Apple IIc (rom version 255) and

a A2M4015Z (made in USA) mouse bundled with Mouse Paint in a red Apple IIc box works

two M0100 (made in Japan) mouses don't work.

humm going to have to check my mouse.... saved it from a later platinum plus... sold the beige mouse with the older beige mac (could prob get it back if I wanted to test it)

guess I need to break out the IIc+ and see what's what

Oh, I should also note that the IIc mouse has one screw at the bottom while the M0100 has two screws up at the top.

In that case, have you looked inside the IIc mouse as the two missing screws probably mean a missing encoder (or two), or vice versa with the M0100 mouse.

My M0100 for my 128K/512K works perfectly on my //c. You think it's a ROM rev issue?

Apple sold several different mice as the M0100. Some versions worked with the IIc, some didn't

If your mouse don't work, you can buy an adapter: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/apple_IIc_M0100_mouse_adapter/index.php
