Re: A86: mouse
I doubt seriously that he made that mistake. If he had he most likely would
not have mentioned I2C. With the I2C I/O chip it is very possible. It allows
you do control enough inputs to emulate a serial port. Then you could plug up
a regular mouse. I worked on it for while but I don't have time with school.
I have no idea how well the software would run though. Please post the
schematics if they already exist.
Thanks
