I am working on Interfacing an Arcade Machine steerring wheel "POLE POSITION" thru my Mouse port on my PC.

The original Wteering wheel uses what appears to be a magneto sensor with a disk in the middle with holes therefroere interrupting or allowing a magnetic current to go thru the holes.

Serial mice use a very similar concept with an LED emiter & receiver with a small disk with holes.

problem I have is that I have No technical specifications on what I believe to be the magneto sensor, I do not know what the proper name for this device is, what current is required uto use it or what kind of signal it puts out.

all attempts to patch his into the mouse circuit have failed miserbly

do you recognize this device? do you know where I can get some specifications for it, or how I can adapt it thru a mouse/trackball ??

Any info appreciated
