AdderView MP Installation and Use Page 12
You may also need one or more of the following adapters. These adapters may
be obtained from your AdderView MP supplier and other good retailers.
Video adapter - 13W3 male connector to 15 pin D-type connector
(Adder part code: VSA7)
If you have a Sun computer with an older style 13W3 video connector then you
will need an adapter to convert this to the 15 way D-type format.
Keyboard adapter - 6 pin mini-DIN female to 5 pin standard DIN male
(Adder part code: VSA2)
If you have a PC with an older style 5 pin standard DIN connector then you will
need an adapter to convert this to the 6 pin mini-DIN format.
Mouse adapter - 9 pin D-type female to 6 pin mini-DIN female
(Adder part code: VSA1)
If you have a PC with an older style RS232 mouse connection then you will need
an adapter to convert this to the 6 pin mini-DIN format. There are several
specifications of these adapters that are provided with various mice. They all look
the same but unfortunately there are several common wiring schemes all of
which are different. To ensure that you have the right adapter, either purchase
this from your AdderView MP supplier or check your adapter against the wiring
specification given in Appendix A.
If you are connecting to PCs then you will need a suitable mouse driver.
Supported types are:
1) A PS/2 or RS232 two button mouse driver (any manufacturer).
2) Microsoft mouse driver (including IntelliMouse).
3) Logitech mouse driver (including two button, three button and wheel mouse).
4) A mouse driver that is compatible with the above types (most are).
(The AdderView MP supports ‘Internet Mice’ that are compatible with the Microsoft
IntelliMouse. These are fitted with a wheel or other scroll control and sometimes
have additional buttons. Examples are: Microsoft IntelliMouse, Logitech Pilot
Mouse+, Logitech MouseMan+, Genius NetMouse and Genius NetMouse Pro.)
Use of PS/2 and RS232 style mice with the AdderView MP - All of the mouse
connections from AdderView MP to PCs support either a PS/2 or an RS232 mouse.
AdderView MP automatically converts from the PS/2 mouse commands to RS232
