Just wondering, if a specific model MSX mouse will work with an S750-S770 or
can any MSX mouse do the job?

If I think what the mouse is what it is it will destroy the circuit in
the sampler.
Serious - you need the Roland Mouse I recollect from memory at 4 o'
clock at night after a gig , or perhaps a rewired non Roland - lets wait
for the real experts on this list.

The MSX mouse standard was created back in the late 80's and was popular with early
Asian computer manufacturers. It never caught on and was pretty much dead by the mid
90's. Any MSX mouse will work with Roland's equipment without harm. They are
fairly hard to find, and expensive. A scan of EBay this evening showed only 4 available
ranging from $60 to $100.
I believe that the mouse that Roland sold was OEM'ed from Panasonic.
Good luck...

Do *NOT* try to connect any other mouse, other than a Roland mouse.
Many years ago, I tried a Microsoft mouse and blew the circuit board in my S550. To this
day, I am unable to use a mouse at all and have to use the front panel controls.

PC mouses use completely different protocol and pin assignments, but any
MSX mouse should indeed work. Rolands mouse is a rebadged Philips MSX
mouse. PC mouse adapter can be built, however, there are schematics and
code for one here: http://www.msxpro.com/ps2_msx.html

I can confirm what Joni wrote. Philips MSX mouse works fine with S-xx0.
