I am developing software for the Apple II/II+/IIe and I have an old revision 4
Apple II+ (1980)  I am interested in getting a mouse to make a Mac-like,
icon-based menu system.  Reports say that Apple is coming out with a mouse and
accompanying software for the II family (MouseDraw, or something)

There is a connector on the back of the IIe that looks suspiciously like the
Macintosh's mouse connector.  Ten to one the mouse plugs in there.  But -- I
only have a traditional joystick connector...

	Is it possible for me to get a Mouse?
	Do I need any special adapters?
	How does software read it - like a joystick?

Thanks in advance.
