DL> I am looking for one of those mythical "cheap" Atari or Wico Trak Balls.

I purchased an Atari (model no. CX22) from 'Toys R Us' for $5, and
modified it from a text file floating around the BBS's on how to modify
it to be used on an amiga. This is necessary as the pins are different.
All I invested in was a DB9 cabel, a DB9 female plug, and some wire.
The trackball has a very good feel to it, and allthough the buttons are
placed to wide apart to be used by one hand, I'm planning on installing
two alternate buttons above the 'ball'.
If you cannot find the text file, let me know, and I'll post the
instructions.
