The interface can be used with a [[Genius_mouse|Genius Bus bus mouse]]. The following information relates to the smaller Dk'tronics Mouseinterface which is designed for the CPC464. The interface casing is designed to fit the case of the cpc464. Looking at the pictures, the larger mouse interface pcb has "Amstard CPC6128 Mouse" written on it, while the smaller one appears to read "CPC464 Mouse".
Holding the PCB so that the mouse port is to the top-right, the following, which is not easy to see from the photos, is written on the PCB:
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 ICs 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.
