Re: QPTR demo Paint.bas

Re: RasPiQL

Hi,

I looked at my PS/2 mouse and keyboard, which is the same as some in the picture.

Which was bought for the Q68, and now is used for everything.

There was ideas to fit a Q68 into the Perixx 409P kyboard case, but this requires a new lower case.

What type/brand of USB-PS/2 converter do you use?
All I could find was bloody expensive.
It is:

USB Type A Male to 2 x PS/2 PS2 Keyboard and Mouse Adaptor Converter Adapter

Re: MICE GUI and mouse system

Hi,

The MICE system I used many years ago was mouse only, the keyboard was not useable.

I will see if I have the manual.

The MICE interface was designed to fit a QL with the 2 or 3 supporting legs fitted to the rear of the QL.

I never has a copy of this, but maybe a new Word Processor could be writt...
