Found him! The master mouse was hiding at the back of a shelf and still works in GEM (which is pretty grim running off floppies here). This mouse plugs into the Master's User port.

BBC Master 512 in DOS Plus; GEM, Turbo Pascal ( the 6502 Welcome panel). The video on the Master 512 is a bit odd - it's not got enough VRAM to be able to do normal PC modes, and it's not got the character gen to do hardware text (except teletext which is no use to the PC side). It was DOS Plus not MSDOS so some stuff was touchy. Hmm only thing I'm missing is the mouse, it might be in the loft somewhere.
I also need to try a PI RGB thing, my LCD doesn't like some st…

„Milliarden-Abkommen“: Microsoft und Mistral vertiefen KI-Partnerschaft
Microsoft und Mistral bauen ihre Partnerschaft deutlich aus. Das umfangreiche Abkommen umfasst KI-Infrastruktur, Modellintegration und Vertrieb.

To dismantle public employee protections,
the Roberts Court relies on a SCOTUS opinion authored by former President Taft.
But they get key parts of Taft's legacy wrong
Taft disliked politicization because civil servants had
“far greater experience” than political appointees,
not to mention a “life-long fidelity and efficiency [to their missions]...
not rewarded by notices in headlines

Good; my Master is now a Master 512 again - it can see the copro OK, now I just need to find where I put the boot floppies last century. (Hmm and I wonder if we still have the mouse?)
Bonus: Interword running from the cartridge slot.
