1. Am I correct in understanding that it allows a trackball to be hooked up?
2. Does it require any drivers? As I am looking to use it on a Linux mame cab.


Thanks!

I had no problems with the optiwiz in Linux.  Plugged it in and it worked.

Gentoo

Worked with happ trackball but not with suzo/ultimarc.  Also tried out the Z axis with a spinner. (I don't have the turbotwist spinner, just the optiwiz)

Killer mate, just what I needed. Thanks
JODY:
Received my spinner and just hooked it up for a few minutes to try Arkanoid.  It is the most playable of all the non-geared spinners I've tried for Arkanoid.  There are about 50% more teeth on the optic wheel than a Tempest spinner.  Will work great in a cabinet I'm starting with a small control panel.

Thanks
