Betson Imperial (Wico) Trackball Hack
« on: June 24, 2002, 03:33:42 pm »
I got a good deal on an Imperial trackball in the buy/sell section and I looked for a while and could not find the exact info that I needed to make a mouse hack for the unit.

Very cool. I obviated that work by buying a Betson Imperial with a PS/2 interface built-in. Consequently, I paid more. But I'm already a little sad I didn't get a chance to hack something.
