I've just finished my trackball to mouse interface tutorial.
It's a down & dirty, researched & tested, 2-page how-to on hacking a mouse to an arcade trackball without having to modify the trackball or take power or ground from your machine's power supply.  The mouse hack does it all.
The document has been converted to an Adobe file for distribution.
Here's the link to Adobe's website:

https://createpdf.adobe.com/cgi-pickup.pl/Mouse%20to%20Trackball%20Instructions.pdf?BP=IE&LOC=en_US&CUS=e2dc16ea454785e06bc37fc8dc962de8&CDS=3F5273E0-18E8-208DBC

Note: copy the whole URL & paste it into your address bar or you will be asked for a password.

It won't be there for long so grab it quick if you want it.
Hopefully Saint will scoop it up & ad it to the downloads/examples page since I have no functioning website.
Enjoy!

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Thank you for this great site!
