Sega spinner to Wico/Imperial PS2 trackball
« on: October 13, 2003, 04:06:29 am »
Ok dokie. I have both a Sega Tac/Scan spinner assembly, and a nice Wico/Imperial PS2 trackball.

Do you guys think I can piggyback the Tac/Scan spinner onto the trackballs connection with a bit of soldering magic? Or will I have to come up with a separate interface?

Has anyone tried anything like this?

I could be wrong but I believe this would not work (signals will get confused together)...unless you wire in a DPDT switch to manually switch between trackball / spinner.  See how Oscar did it at http://www.oscarcontrols.com/DPDTswitch.shtml .
