 It was a hack that became supported by Commodore when it was adopted into
 Janus V2.0 - its called "Amouse".

 I use it with Lattice V3.41 and CodeProbe (the MS-DOS version ;-). No bugs
 or complaints! It works like a charm and I love it.

 As for its availablity, currently it is supplied with Janus 2.0 -only-. And
 Janus 2.0 is supplied with the AT BridgeBoard -only-. So unless your buying
 an AT board its not really available. Im not sure what CBM's plans are for
 making available. I hope they do make it available though because it works
 on not only both BridgeBoards but also with the SideCar ;-)
