Tank Mouse remake: Shop opened / Driver update (update)
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). Now the free sale of the mouse in black or beige for 46 Euros or the USB-to-DB9 adapter for 25 Euros plus shipping (in Europe approx. 8 Euros) has started under the title link.
Users had reported in various forums that there were problems with the touch scrolling function. In a status update only available to supporters, the developer acknowledges these problems: "As some of you might know, Cocolino driver which is needed for scrolling function, is causing some errors and interfering with MUI on classic Amiga OS. Unfortunately we've dicovered that too late. The driver is closed-source so we can't make changes to it, and I'm not a programmer myself."
Remis offered a prize of 500 euros and a set of beige and black tank mice with DB9 adapters for the first person to develop a new open source driver for Amiga Workbench. This has apparently already been done according to the latest update and the driver should be uploaded to Aminet soon.
Update: (25.04.2023, 05:48, dr)
Version 0.2 of the touch-scrolling driver now is available on Aminet. (dr)
