[comp.sys.sgi] Mouse

G'day,

My understanding is that the mouse on the 4D series Irises uses a
serial interface. Does anyone know for sure if this is true?
If so, then does anyone know of a mechanical mouse, i.e. NOT an
optical mouse which does not use the pad, that will work with
the 4D.

  Why would you want a mechanical mouse?

For Brent L. Bates: Obviously because I do not like optical mice!!!!

   That was obvious.  I was just wondering if you had some logical
or rationale reason for this dislike.  I guess not.

For Brent L. Bates: Yes I have a very logical reason but this is not the
place for discussion. Let's get back to the basic question. Does anyone
have an answer to it?
