----------------------------------------------------- 28/8/1998 ANNOUNCING THE ATARI SERIAL MOUSE INTERFACE ----------------------------------------------------- * Allows any serial mouse (as used on IBM compatibles) to be connected to Atari ST(E), TT, Falcon or compatible computers. * Support for serial mouse, track-ball, touch-pad or any other Microsoft or Mouse Systems compatible serial pointing device. * Easy installation: just plug in and go. * Unlike other "solutions", the interface doesn't tie up your serial port, or require special software drivers. * Third button or wheel can act as a double click of the left button, or on software/hardware that supports it, as a real middle button. The Atari Serial Mouse Interface is the best solution for replacing a worn- out Atari mouse, or ensuring that you will never have trouble obtaining a mouse in the future. Serial mice are used on IBM compatible computers, and are readily available from any computer dealer. The interface is also handy for those who are tired of the slow and clumsy Atari mouse. With the wide range of serial mice, trackballs and touch-pads available, you will have no trouble finding a pointing device to suit your taste and budget. Plus, if like many users you find double clicking tedious, simply obtain a serial mouse with middle button or wheel. Then a simple press on the middle button or wheel acts like a double click - no more double clicking hassles. Or if you use UNIX or other software that uses a middle button for other purposes, the interface can be configured for that, too. Installation is simple. The interface is a small unit measuring only 4x5x1 cm, with a serial mouse plug at one end, and a cable that plugs into your Atari mouse port at the other end. To install the unit, simply plug it in - no other setup is required. And being so small, it sits comfortably on your desk without taking up too much space.
