This is all very interesting. I just happened upon a Commodore 1351 mouse last week and was wondering if there was any application to the VIC.

As posted previously here, the NEOS mouse works nicely on the Vic-20, but there is no software that uses it (yet). To make it work without interfering with the keyboard, you have to remove a pin on the NEOS or use a joystick cable extension and remove the pin in that.rhurst wrote:I am guessing there is no such thing as mouse / trackball capability on VIC 20 -- except perhaps using that Atari trackball with the joystick emulation switch on -- and that is not what I am looking for.
And if that is true, even those nice PS/2 adapters to emulate a 1350 / 1351 mouse on a C64 and Amiga won't help any either, eh? Just wondering, because I was playing with VICE emulation with paddle support, and of course, POT X/Y works nicely with a PC mouse, but I have not gotten any real hardware to work on VIC 20 with a mouse / trackball device.
Any ideas, or am I chasing a red herring? Thanks.
