- Harry,
-
- There are several Trackballs listed in the TRI/ADD Shippable Products catalog
- and at least one of them has a "mouse port" connector (according to the vendor
- description). You'd need to call the vendor and ask them which systems they
- support (I'm not sure about the VS4000/60). You can make an anonymous ftp copy
- of the catalog from
-
- gatekeeper 16.1.0.2 gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps
- gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps.Z
-
- I hope that this helps.
-
- Thanx,
- AJ
