- Hello all,
- I just purchased a Kensington "ExpertMouse" for $15 from a local
- computer store that is going out of business. It is a trackball that
- had evidently been part of a demo, as it has no cabling, box, documentation,
- etc. Having used the Kensington trackballs before, I figured that I'd
- just gotten a great deal (new Kensington trackballs go for $100+).
- And then I got home and discovered that THIS trackball has mini din-8
- serial connectors on each side instead of ADB ports. So I have a few
- questions:
- Has anyone seen this beast before??
- What software is required to use it??
- Can it be made to work as an IBM/DOS serial mouse device??
- Does anyone know how to get ahold of Kensington???
- Should I have bought a couple of six-packs of Guiness Stout instead??
-
- Please respond via email at the address below.
-
- Thanks in advance,
