I use this trackball; however, I use it on a PS/2 port. It ought to be very easy to add one to your machine. You just need a PS/2 connector wired directly to the motherboard, which ought to have some pins to take it. I can't remember whether this connector came with the trackball or with the computer case. If you do this, you will need to compile PS/2 support into the kernel. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
