YAMI¶
Features¶
- Allows to connect a serial PC mouse to the Amiga mouse connector.
- Supports Logitech and Microsoft protocol.
- Supports up to three mouse buttons.
- Hardware support for the mouse wheel (both X and Y axis). Requires software with mouse wheel support.
- Joystick mode: Joysticks can be parallel connected (using a Y cable).
- No drivers required for standard mouse operation. Mouse is available even in games, demos and the boot menu.
- Matured firmware that proved its reliability over years.
- Made of cheap components that are easy to get at electronic stores.
Usage¶
Please note that YAMI requires a PC mouse with a serial connector. PS/2 and USB mice are not supported! This means that it is very difficult to find a fitting mouse nowadays. Some older PS/2 mice come with a PS/2 to serial connector though, so maybe you are lucky.
DO NOT JUST USE a PS/2 to serial adapter you got from somewhere, or even worse, cascade a USB to PS/2 with a PS/2 to serial adapter. You will most likely destroy the mouse, the YAMI interface or the Amiga computer! Only use a PC mouse that actually came with a serial adapter.
Development¶
The YAMI project is discontinued. If you would like to adopt the project, please get in contact with me.
