By modern, I mean it doesn't require a special reflective pad. It's called the Kensington Mouse-in-a-Box USB/ADB and ranges in price from about $18 to $30 online. This is the only modern optical mouse I've ever heard of that uses ADB, and based on my experience with other Kensington mice, it should be a winner. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. http://cobwebpublishing.com http://lowendmac.com http://digital-views.com http://digigraphica.com http://lowendpc.com http://reformed.net You shouldn't need a Passport to use the World Wide Web. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: ADB Optical
Dan Palka [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is there a such a thing as an optical ADB mouse? A company called Mouse Systems of Fremont CA marketed a pair of optical mice for the Mac. One of those features three buttons (two are user-programmable methinks); and the other is my very favorite, called the Little Mouse because it is small and cute. These pointing devices are VERY COOL. They work with a reflective, metal mouse pad, are long-lasting and maintenance-free, and very accurate. Mouse Systems no longer produces these, but they do appear on eBay occasionally. Of course, I've hoarded a couple of sets for my personal planned obsolescence. -- Michael Emery -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

ADB Optical

Re: ADB Optical
Yes; I think a few were available for NeXT boxen, and there may have been one or two for the Mac as well. They require special mousepads with reflective patterns, however; there aren't any modern LED-style optical mice for the ADB. what are the pins in ADB used for? would it be possible to modify a modern USB or PS/2 mouse to work with it? or repace some of the circuitry in the ADB mouse (and the whole area with the ball, possibly a new case) with that of a optical mouse so that it would work -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
