Is the Ultimarc trackball any good?
RedSquirrel:
nice price. BUT 2 things..
does it connect straight to the mouse port? Or do you wire it up via a card?
Secondly, does it have a top plate with it?
traknfieldSUPAstar:
just a guess... but i'd think you have to use an optipac in order for it work... would make sense if it was from the ultimarc site ;)
AlanS17:
What are the mlunting dimensions on those Ultimarc trackballs? I'm pressed for space so that may be a good choice.
jakejake28:
hey, if i buy a few (which i will), i have 2 questions.
1) can i have 4 hooked up at once, with 2 optipacs using 2 usbs? does mame support this?
2) do i need a mounting plate for this?
i was considering buying a giant atari football trackball, but i could get 4 for that price ;D i love ultimarc

1) Yes (AFAIK). No, not mame, but if you have win98 or winME, Mame:Analog+ will. (see sig)
2) Yes, unless Andy is already including one. The happs 2 1/4" plates will work, but if you get the boltless plate kit, you'll need to redrill the top TB mounting holes a little bigger. At least, I had to with a wico/suzo ball from wico and the black painted one (the bolts were painted too, so maybe the zinc won't require the redrill).
