I heard that Boston's MacWorld Expo had a vendor featuring an ADB mouse
with 3 buttons (something which helps when using X11 under A/UX.)
Can anyone point me to the vendor? Thanks.

Thanks. If its the one I saw.. its the gravis people. They are using a standard logitech (pc) mouse with a mini-din 8 connector on it. If you have an old MouseStick, you can upgrade the main unit to work with the mouse as well. This is the way I understood it to work. You configure the unit in MacOS and an init "downloads" the code to the control unit during boot. You could configure the unit to push the left and right arrows when the middle and right buttons are push and put the init in the boot system folder. That way, X11R4 as well as MacX could take advantage. The question is whether or not the init will run under AUX. -- Silica gel -- No not eat. steveg@ni.umd.edu

I've been trying to find a 3 button mouse for AUX and Interleaf Publisher (under MacOS) for a long time. e-mail responses are great, though when I posted a similar request for info about 3-button mice, I received a *lot* of requests for follow-up info. A post of the information is probably appropriate. I hope the thing actually exists! Thanks, preferred ---------> michael@agricola.mit.edu mjwargo@athena.mit.edu
