Kickstarter campaign: Update on DB9-to-USB adapter of "Tank Mouse"
The Polish designer Lukas Remis had successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign for the re-release of the wireless Commodore Mouse 1352 (amiga-news.de reported).
In a recent status update, he now explains again why the adapter cannot be produced as originally planned: for example, the price of the main chip had jumped from about $1 to over $15, and even at that price it would not have been available in some cases.
He has now had a new adapter designed by Lotharek. A prototype has already been built.
However, this adapter will cost much more than originally estimated. The money raised would not be enough to cover the production of the mouse and adapter. Therefore, everyone who is interested in the adapter is asked for an additional payment of 16 Euros. He will soon prepare a survey for all supporters asking who would like to have the adapter and who would not. Those who decide against it will receive their tank mouse as soon as it is made. Otherwise, both will be sent when the mouse and adaper are finished. (dr)
