The interface can be used with a [[Genius_mouse|Genius Bus Mousebus mouse]].
The following information relates to the smaller Dk'tronics Mouse interface which is designed for the CPC464. The interface casing is designed to fit the case of the cpc464.
Looking at the pictures, the larger mouse interface appears to be made for the pcb has "Amstard CPC6128Mouse" written on it, but this is not confirmedwhile the smaller one appears to read "CPC464 Mouse".
Holding the PCB so that the mouse port is to the top-right, the following, which is not easy to see from the photos, is written on the PCB:
1 TOSHIBA TC4047BP - Low-power astable/monostable multivibrator with oscillator output
3 resistors (two on component side, one on solder side)
1 Electrolytic capacitor- 1µF 1 Ceramic capacitor - 22pF
The PCB has one 9-pin joystick connector for mouse, and a lead with another 9-pin connector for CPC's joystick port.
The interface connects to the back of the CPC. It is claimed this is only necessary for 5V power but this is not confirmed.
It is also claimed that this This interface is not compatible with the [[AMX Mouse]], although both report . It reports mouse movements as through joystick directionsin the same way and uses the same method to read the mouse. The interface, however, only supports a single fire/mouse button. Like the AMX Mouse it doesn't appear to suffer from keyboard clash and reports nothing for joystick 2. Pressing the right button on my Genius mouse does nothing, pressing the left button is the same as fire 1. == Schematic ==  * None yet exists...(?)
