[comp.sys.apple] Gs enhanced keyboards

SASQUATCH@ALBION.BITNET (10/17/88)

Does anyone know of an enhanced keyboard for the GS that has a trackball
_built-in_?  I recall seeing something like this for the mac some time ago,
and I was wondering if such a thing existed for the GS.  I don't really
want a separate trackball; I like my keyboard and associated stuff to be
one piece.

Thanks.

I seem to recall Northgate doing something like this.  If it is for the
Apple Desktop Bus, then it should be fine on the GS.

 Any keyboard designed for the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) will work on the
IIGS.  The Mac SE and Mac II use the same desktop bus, so you should
be able to use any of the keyboards with trackballs advertised for use
with those machines.
