Other way around - the mouse killed their motherboard.Originally posted by zara_backdog View Post
The earliest builds of the Atari ST had a peculiar problem whereby, if one of the mouse buttons was held down at a certain point during the BIOS initialisation process, out-of-range values would be applied to some chip or other and fry the motherboard.
This was initially discovered when somebody's mouse had fallen behind the desk and was jammed against the wall (thereby depressing one of its buttons) when he turned it on in the morning.
We didn't have an Internet back then, so I can't find an original source to link to - but I remember reading about it and telling the boss, then immediately trying it on the company's ST (on which I was working at the time) to see if it broke.
Of course, I didn't tell the boss that I'd already glanced through a disassembly of the BIOS and ensured that we had one of the fixed ones - I wanted to see the look on his face as I held the button down
