"Geos" Mouse card for Zx81.

Post by XavSnap »

Hi,

My mouse card is ready !
http://zx81.ordi5.free.fr/brico/mouse/

and the mouse driver : http://zx81.ordi5.free.fr/brico/mouse/driver/

But, in basic the inkey$ function wont work with 2 keys (diagonals) !
I don't know if this card will work properly ... it wont be easy to get a pure "key" signal with the mouse!
Have Fun.

Fantastic work!!

Is a Geos mouse similar to a "bus" mouse, as used on the Amiga? (raw quadrature signals, but not converted to a serial stream like on PC mice)

It's great to see new hardware still being developed :-)

Hi Shaaaaad... (megacool... "it's the Shaaad's world!" ref. ???"Charlie's angels"???)

Yep, a joystick pug, but the signal is active on 0v... not 5V regards quickshot/Amstrad joysticks.

Have Fun.
