Recently one of my friends here at Harvey Mudd College modified a trackball for Atari game machines to a trackball that works with the Atari ST. It cost only 6 WHOLE BUCKS while the modification on cost him 6 more. 12 bucks for a fairly smooth operating trackball! I've looked into ads for trackballs for the Mac and the most decent ones cost over a hundred! Personally, I think 12 bucks is easier on the wallet. Atari uses the nine-pin interfaces. Now, I'm not very familiar with the mouse interfaces of the Mac mice but I know they dont use nine-pins. Does anyone know to convert the nine-pin to the Mac bus interface. We have all the necessary documents on the game trackball and it's conversion to an ST trackball. Please send all mail directly to me jhoung@jarthur.UUCP jhoung@jathur.claremont.edu jhoung@hmcvax.bitnet If there is enough interest, I will post the results. -jack houng
