Macintosh mouse, anyone?

Misdiagnosed as an Apple IIe mouse, this M0100 (1987) mouse may be of use to someone.

Not for buyers outside North America, though. The shipping cost to Australia by USPS is quoted as USD70, which is almost twice the USPS Priority International cost for a 20lb flat rate box.

I believe you are right. With that style connector M0100 mice are only Macintosh. By that time (1985) the Apple II series' had unique model numbers given their incompatibilities with various Mouse cards and ports as well as design schemes.

An Apple IIe mouse will work fine on a Mac.

'Work with' was not so much my point as that M0xxx Mac, keyboard and mouse are patently not associated by Apple's inventory system with the Apple models.

An Apple IIe mouse will work fine on a Mac.

So will a //c mouse.

But a Mac mouse may not work on a //c, or possibly a IIe depending on the card used.

Either way, it is improperly identified.
