This is in response to Dale Olson's request for an SGI compatible trackball. I thought it might also be of interest to others. We've found a "plug-and-play" trackball for our 4D/25. It plugs into the same port as the optical mouse with no changes necessary. It also has 3 buttons that function the same as the optical mouse. Ergonomically, it leaves something to be desired compared to other trackballs I have seen, but this is the only one we've found for the SGI (except for the expensive SpaceBall). Here's the info: What: Mouse-Trak Model #M5-S.G. for SGI 4D/20 Where: ITAC Systems, Inc. 3121 Benton St. Garland, TX 75042 Price: $199 (June '90) I'm sorry I don't have their phone number anymore. You'll probably have to try Information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Richardson <dave@adcs00> Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Batavia, IL 60510 (708) 840-3354 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've dealt with a Peter Whitney, he's given us good service in the past. We currently use the Mouse-Trak on many of our systems (SGI, Sun 4, Apollo, IBM R/6000). Do note that you need to specify what system you're ordering for. I have no connection with ITAK other than as a satisfied customer. -- ##################### Naturism, Grin and Bare It ###################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki.com!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki.com!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ################ New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ###############
