- It is true that the Sun and PC versions are identical except for the
- front sticker and the wiring harness. However, I don't have much faith
- that it would work on a mac though. Noting the specs for their IDB bus,
- it doesn't look too promising. At least, you will need a different mac
- driver.

- Mouse systems does make Apple Mice. Anyone have such a beast?
