The interface can be used with a [[Genius_mouse|Genius Bus Mousebus mouse]].
Holding the PCB so that the mouse port is The following information relates to the top-right, the following, smaller Dk'tronics Mouse interface which is not easy designed for the CPC464. The interface casing is designed to see from fit the photos, is written on case of the PCB:cpc464.
1. Upper left says Looking at the pictures, the larger mouse interface pcb has "DATELAmstard CPC6128 Mouse"2. Lower middle says written on it, while the smaller one appears to read "CPC464 MOUSE 5/89Mouse" (The 5 is not legible, could be a 6)3. To the right side are 6 connection points. From to bottom these are labelled 0 (or 8 not easy to see), 4, 3, 2, 1, 6.
The Holding the PCB so that the mouse port is to the top-right, the following ICs are inside interface, which is not easy to see from the photos, is written on the PCB:
1. Upper left says "DATEL" 2. Lower middle says "CPC464 MOUSE 5/89" (The 5 is not legible, could be a 6) 3. To the right side are 6 connection points. From to bottom these are labelled 0 (or 8 not easy to see), 4, 3, 2, 1, 6. The following components are inside interface: 1 ST T74LS367AB- 6bit (2bit+4bit) 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver 2 TOSHIBA TC4013BP x 2- Dual D flip-flop with set and reset 1 TOSHIBA TC4047BP- Low-power astable/monostable multivibrator with oscillator output 2 3 resistors at top(two on component side, one on the other solder side of the PCB.) one 1 Electrolytic capacitor.- 1µF 1 Ceramic capacitor - 22pF
The PCB has one 9-pin joystick connector for mouse, and a lead with another 9-pin connector for CPC's joystick port.
The interface connects to the back of the CPC. It is claimed this is only necessary for 5V power but this is not confirmed.
It is also claimed that this This interface is not compatible with the [[AMX Mouse, although both report ]]. It reports mouse movements as through joystick directionsin the same way and uses the same method to read the mouse. The interface, however, only supports a single fire/mouse button. Like the AMX Mouse it doesn't appear to suffer from keyboard clash and reports nothing for joystick 2. Pressing the right button on my Genius mouse does nothing, pressing the left button is the same as fire 1. == Schematic == * None yet exists...(?)
