Hey cool, glad you found them. You mind posting links? I have a dream that one day, a person will be able to browse to GamesX.com and find links to every game console component, to the point where they can build a PC-Engine or a Megadrive or an Xbox out of off-the-shelf components.

-KKC, who should start another thread about the thing he was going to put here.

I discovered btw, InPort mice cables lack a ground wire... so it may just be better to buy the connectors and wire 'em yourself.

   If you need the PCB mount connector, you could try pulling one off of an old IBM/Logitech Bus Mouse ISA card. If you're after the cable connector, then find either a Logitech Bus Mouse* or a Visioneer PaperPort scanner. They're useless now, and the SCSI/parallel adaptor connects to the actual scanner through a fully wired MiniDIN-9 cable, so just chop that up and you're good to go.

   Failing that, you can find the connector at IEC.NET.

*(do NOT throw the actual mouse away, they're still quite useful for replacing Atari ST or Amiga mice as they are fully electrically compatible)
