Looking to complete a period-correct DEC workstation? Missing the right
mouse? Have I got a deal for you!
Digital 3-button mouse part number 30-5-01 rev. C02. PS/2
connector, ball mechanism (not one of those fancy new things with the
red light on the bottom).
Free for actual cost of shippi

I had run into those bits on the web and also a ps2 driver for the
arduino on github.
The protocols are similar for the PS2 mouse and the DEC mouse, 3 bytes
encoded with movement data.

similarity in the protocol.
Is the DEC Mouse protocol actually documented anywhere?

Anything is possible. :-) I have often wondered about usin
e DEC connector doesn't mean it is used, possibly it
was for digitizers for example).
The DEC mouse protocol is described here:
http://oldcomputers.dyndns.org/public/pub/rechner/dec/manuals/decimages/104aatm1.pdf,
section C6 onwards.

The jack is different, that would be a factor too.

sible to use an arduino to translate PS/2 mouse output and
then send it to the vaxstation so that will it mimic a classic DEC mouse?
