[comp.sys.ibm.pc] trackball information wanted

   Hi netters.  I'm hoping someone can help me find the manufacturer
of a trackball that Dexxa International used to sell.  In an old
Computer Shopper (Feb., '89), I saw and add for a trackball that has
all the features I want at a great price ($99).  When I tried to call
Dexxa and order one, I found out that they merged with Logitech (i.e.,
they were bought out).  A person at Logitech said they aren't
continuing to offer any of Dexxa's trackball products and didn't know
where they came from, but thought Dexxa had them OEM.  If anyone has
clues about Dexxa's trackball supplier or how I might track them down,
please let me know.

   I would also be interested in any other company that sells a
similar trackball at a similar price.  The features of this one
included:

  - plugs into serial port
  - complete software driver included (also emulates MS Mouse)
  - adjustable sensitivity
  - 3 buttons on bottom (closer to user than the ball)
  - no external power supply needed

Thanks in advance for any help.
