werdna's finds

Figured I'd make this thread since I found something unusual recently (and I don't yet have a thread in this section of the forum, as far as I can tell). While waiting around the past several months for a non-bank-breaking auction or listing on eBay for a Lisa mouse, I found an auction for an original beige boxy-connector M0100 (which I didn't have a spare of - the one I had I was using for my Plus) and a Mouse Systems A+ optical mouse. The M0100 is technically the correct mouse for my 2/10 anyway, so I'm just going to settle for that for now. The MSC A+ mouse, on the other hand, is the real conquest here! Now, I'm going to need to find one of those specialized reflective grid mousepads to actually make it work!

Anyway, just found some time to clean them up. Here they are:

Very interesting mouse, I have not seen one of those.

I have an ADB optical mouse, but not the original serial kind. That's a nice mouse.

If you want to start using the optical mouse right away, I believe you can just print out a B&W grid using your printer. Although I can't find it, somewhere on Google is the original file you can print. I'm just not certain if it has to be of a specific size.

If anyone has that file or knows the exact specifications of the size of the grid pattern, please let me know!

Finally got a mousepad. What sucks is that I now realize the vertical optical sensor doesn't work.
