Hello,

I am currently enrolled in a digital design class.  My lab partner and
I are going to attempt to build a life machine.  As an input device, we would
like to use an Amiga mouse (since I happen to have an extra one).  Among
other things, we are going to have to build some hardware to read the mouse.
Can someone mail me info on:

(a) The MOUSE (i.e. NOT the connector on the side of the computer) pinouts

(b) Explain the output format, i.e. in what form are the horiz and vertical
    signals, and what the h*** is horiz and vertical quadrature?

(c) If anyone has ever built a mouse interface like this before, tips
    and pointers would be welcome.

I (and my partner) will be eternally grateful for any information we get
(after all, you wouldn't want us to use a Mac mouse 8-)
