Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Dear Members,

Can you connect a USB mouse to the Orginal Colour Maximite using the 26 pin expansion connector.

Not without an external processor which will more than double the cost of your mouse.

You can using a serial mouse (if you can get one) see
Or the Silicon Chip interface here
Or the Hobbytronics USB host as used on the CMM2.
And Jim has done it using an Arduino.
