Use standard USB mice with retro computers

Use standard USB mice with retro computers

If you've ever tried to find a replacement mouse for a vintage computer, you'll appreciate this project. If your vintage computer uses a quadrature encoder type mouse (ie most of them) then your choices in the past were to pay out the nose for an original mouse, or buy a specific converter for your computer only to use an old PS/2 mouse which themselves are getting harder to find. Now you have this device which can support most old school computers and uses standard USB protocol that works with standard USB mice.
