The day after I posted this message I found that the mouse pc card has
labels on the back identifying the connector pins. The button, if I recall
correctly, just grounds one of the pins. I will post the details soon.

A friend of mine and I worked out a simple interface for a Hawley mechanical
mouse that became free when we replaced it with an optical mouse on one of
our Xerox Dandelion Lisp machines. It took about 5 chips to produce parallel
binary out. I designed the circuit and my friend built it and modified
his S100 Z80 system BIOS so that the mouse worked with Wordstar. I suspect
that the Apple mouse has the same coding scheme. I'll post the details when
I try it out.

Since people have been having mouse problems I'm wondering if you can replace
the LED and sensor easily. They seem to be plug-in components.
