uh ?

I have a deluxe mouse (as the deluxe joystick they came before the coco3) I
think for the deluxe color computer.

And it is a proportional mouse that acts like a self-centering joystick,
when you stop moving it sends 0 displacement, when move it will
proportionally adjust the potentiometers.

I use it (when I use it ;) with a cocomax hi-res pak and works like any
other PC mouse. It's wonderful :D
