The "Apple //e Technical Reference Manual" doesn't say anything useful
about the Mouse Card. (Unless Apple's revised the version that I
revised and is available in bookstores, published by Addison-Wesley.)

The reason that mouse info was left out was that, unlike the //c and
Mac, very few Apple //e's were equipped with mice.  On the other hand,
a large percentage had the extended 80-column card (128K memory) and
at least one Super Serial Card.  Therefore, those devices were described
in the manual.

The "Apple //c Technical Reference Manual" does give the mouseport
signal pinouts and levels and timing.  Just about all you should need
short of making your own mouse card from scratch...

The two implementations are pretty close, the differences generally
being ignorable.  Should work for the Mac, too, come to think of it.
