Hi, first post here but long time reader, Much Great info here!!!
I am in need of some help on this, I bought a Minipac a long time ago (about a year) and I did not get any cables with it, no biggie at that time but Now I want to connect my trackball, PS2 mode does Not work with any optical stuff :cry: So I tried a USB to PS2 adaptor and still no joy. So I was hoping that someone could send me a schematic on how to make the USB cable for my minipac? And Hope that it works then.

Were you supposed to get a cable with it and have you spoken to Andy?
If I were you I'd just fork out for the cable, leaving you more time to work on the wiring. I hope you have the Minipac harness!

Board only, 25.00 never needed the Harness I used a IDE cable, worked great. I did Email Andy a couple of days ago about the schematic, no reply yet, I suspect he is a buisy guy so I will not keep remailing him. I had been using the Minipac in PS2 mode for about a year and Never had any problems, But I wanted to add a trackball, I can not get it to work at all.
I bought a USB to PS2 adaptor and it "seems" to work, but no trackball, and the Keyboard does not work if connected to the pass through. All of the buttons ect work with the Mini connected to USB. Is there any need for a Driver? I am lost, but I am going to keep at it till I get it.
OH the trackball does work with the Mouse hack but I would really like to not have to use that, keeps the CP neat ect... without all the extra stuff.
