Hi guys, wonder if anyone has an Atari ST mouse they would like to part with for some cash of course

My advice would be to get a Visa Debit card and join ebay.au & .com and start a world wide search

Its one of those things you could be waiting 6 months or it could take four years to find the mouse. NZ is a small place, you could be patrolling TradeMe daily for years looking for it, ebay would be much more likely, one thing that's on your side is postage will be reasonable.

I'm willing to bet you will see 6 more Atari 520's without a mouse before you see one.

The peripherals are always harder to find than the keyboards


I have located a brand new mouse here for you and they are willing to ship $52 NZD all up:

Hi,

I have a third party one. It's silver in colour.

I've just tested it on my Falcon and its working (Might need a clean as it has some issues moving downwards but that might just be the book I was using as a mouse pad).

I can send it to you if you want and you can see what you think?

There were some aftermarket AMIGA 500 Mice that had a switch to select Atari/Amiga, Maybe Ebay or ????

There are 5 brandnew ones avaliable at the link I provided, I would grab one off Asci or from ebay.com.au while you can.

It took me over two years to get hold of a dick smith Vz200 Datasette ! I finally have a complete VZ200 setup

You can hold down the Alt key and use the arrow keys and insert and the clr buttons for the mouse and try a amiga mouse see if that works.
