The Amiga Pointer Archive is missing one: We went to get a Fast Ram upgrade for a A1000, and we looked at his work, and it was cross between a jeweler and sim-city. We had the work done, and he put his boot disk into test it. He had the most interesting pointer... the boot disk was called Romeo, and the pointer was just a 3x3 square diamond, with a single line of pixels, to a 2x2 square diamond of pixels with a hole on the center... so you could literally see a single pixel through it. I had never seen anything like it, so I copied on my Macintosh, ( System 6.0.8, and system 7.0.1 ), and later to windows 3.1 onward to Windows XP, later screens became too large to need anything close to a single pixel pointer.

I wish I had the disk, that we got it from... just a single 3.5" Floppy labeled "Romeo" and we all knew what it was.

I scanned all disks, I've only seen "Bravo Romeo Delta" (a 1992 game) and a Romeo Knight music disk. But the site has a pointer editor, did it look like this?

I've also scanned all "tiny" cursors with 13 pixels or less. Surprisingly, there is no pointer with this exact shape yet!

Are you quoting this from somewhere?

There's one on there the matches that shape, but without the transparent centre pixel. Crosshairs, row 2, 4th from left
