Re: USB Mouse -> CMI Lightpen adapter

2010-09-27 by dvdborn

I'm also one of the happy few with a mouse interface.

I can only say that it is brilliant. I never had a chance to use the Fairlight with a light pen since mine was broke. I was used to working with all the key commands. But using it with a mouse makes everything feel much more natural and faster since the whole interface was made to be used with a light pen.

I'm using mine with a white Apple optical mouse. The one with only one button. It works like a charm.

Thanks Joe!

Cheers,
David
