Hacking my own mouse

I just wired the tball harness into the compusa mouse. Works great. Will be selling the hack soon.
Paige: yep, very possible, though the optipac (or minipac) would be a better route.
crashwg:
where is the minipac? i can't seem to find it on andy's site.

:-\ I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and just buy the mini-pac with the opti input for the ultimarc trackball. It's only about $30 more than the I-Pac. It will save me a bunch of trouble and it will make wiring everything as easy as pie. :( I was trying so hard to keep this project as cheap as posible... Every day the cost goes up more and more and I'm not even adding more features.

For what it's worth, I was able to do a mouse hack on my first try. There's really not a lot to it if you read a couple of the online tutorials first.
