Read Chris Whitfield's and Peter Robertson's paper, [WWW]Nibble A Happy Warthog! (That file needs to have its character set converted to Unicode for this site; bear with me a little longer...)

[WWW]The source code of Mouses is available online, as is the only known [WWW]surviving application!

(These files are queued to be moved to our archive)

One Mouses program we still have hopes of finding is the "Emulator" which translated the native OS system calls into Mouses system calls. This actually allowed Mouses to run native code faster than the manufacturer's own operating system. It may still be on a tape which J Gordon Hughes has.

Chris Whitfield has also been exploring the possibility of getting Mouses running again from a boot tape which he has, using Bob Supnik's Interdata emulator.
