Will this work on the QL?

Hi everyone,

Do you think it would be possible for me to use this as a mouse for a QL front-end? It says it is serial/PS2.

I think it's probably got about a 98% chance of not working.

From my very little experience with SERmouse I believe it has a greater chance of working with much earlier (but not all), pre ps/2 mice. If it's ps/2 compatible and is supplied with a passive serial adapter like some were at the time, then I think the chance of it working is less than slim.

Other members will no doubt clarify in depth.
