[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Question about Track Balls.

mdh@linus.UUCP (Michael D. Houle) (08/24/88)

  I don't know if this has been brought up, but...

  Does anyone know of a good Track-ball that can be used for the mac.
  or better yet, does anyone know the connection requirements needed 
  to make a Atari track-ball (I only mention them becuase they are 
  cheap) work with a Mac.

  I have a very small amount of desk space for my Mac, and I am
  throughly sick and tired of picking up the mouse and moving it...

   Please mail to me, or post. (I don't care, but I will summarize
   all of the e-mail answers..

   Thanks All.


   Please don't flame me about this not having to do with programming.

   I put this here, because I guessed that you people would be more
   likely to know the configuration of a Mac Mouse then the average
   comp.sys.mac person.

    (OK... *-)

      Mike

  I've connected an Atari trackball to my Mac, it requires a very
simple cable change. I never really liked using it because the button
was to hard to use. If you want I can post/email the details.
