Imperial trackball question
« on: May 22, 2003, 07:22:33 am »
Hello,

I have an Imperial trackball (arcade one with molex connector) and am designing my control panel.  I don't have an interface for it yet, and am wondering which side is up (with reference to the cable coming out of it...ie, does the cable go up, down, left, right, upper right, etc....)?

Thanks!

The PS/2 version has it's wires coming out at the lower right, so I assume the other Imperials are the same.

Yes, lower right is the standard.  Wico, betson/imperial, happs, suzo all go out the lower right "corner".

(*Except for a very short run of happs quite a while ago.)
