Pre-Production ADB Mouse for IIGS

     This wedge ADB mouse has features that are consistent with a pre-production evaluation item sent out to developers prior to the release of the Apple IIGS in September 1986.  There are no labels, stickers or markings showing model or part number on the plastic case inside or out, the plastic is a lighter cream color and in general smoother than a production unit, and the date code on the PIC inside indicates late 1985.
