I got an M-1 mouse for Christmas. It's put out by Contriver Tech, Inc.
I assume it's totally compatible with the 1350 mouse from Commodore so
I thought I might get some help from the CBM engineers. The mouse can
act as a joystick in any situation where the joystick can be used. I
always thought the mouse to be a device that would give two speed: one
in the x direction and one in the y. From this a velocity vector could
be calculated by the system. If I am right, how is this signal converted
by the joystick port to return the simple four bit direction scheme? I
know that the mouse can be used as a velocity vector since one may go
in any direction in the GEOS package. This is all very confusing and I
can't find anything at all about it. Can someone take the time to explain
some of this? Thanks...
