Does anyone out there know if it is possible to use microsoft compatible
mice with
a Atari st?  My mouse recently broke down and I am looking for an inexpensive
(read REAL CHEAP) way of replacing it.  Is it possible to use an old
roller-controller
with the st and can anyone supply the pinout for the mouse port?

Thanks in advance
