I know its been posted before but I didn't save it.
How do you convert a tracball designed for the Atari2600 into a mouse for the
Ami? If you can't tell me how, could you tell me if I can get old postings
from the net (thru FTP or something)?
Thanks for any help

I guess I'm sort of the keeper of the trackball hack list, so if you'll e-mail me, I'll send the collection of hacks to you. (I already tried sending you a test message, but it bounced. I don't know anything about Bitnet, so I'll have to wait for a good path to you.) Since requests for the trackball hacks seem to repeat every few months, I've sent the collection off to Tad Guy for posting to the moderated groups and the archives as he sees fit. The collection is up to 27K now, so continued reposting here probably is not the best way to deal with it. On the subject, the new Trackman trackball by Logitec looks pretty nice (three buttons under your fingers, and a tiny ball under your right thumb), has anyone tried adapting one to the Amiga yet? I find that because of the awkward placement of the buttons, the Wico and Atari trackballs are more suited for games than a everyday mouse replacement. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 Here: There: (My Amiga running uucp) blgardne@esunix.UUCP blaine@worsel.UUCP {decwrl, utah-cs}!esunix!blgardne utah-cs!caeco!i-core!worsel!blaine
