Need help - Trackball causes machine slowdown (sound etc)
cholin:
I dont think it has anything to do with your computer because for the most part trackballs are detected as mice. Are you using a hacked mouse board to connect to your computer?
hiperco:
I'm using a Happ PS/2 trackball. (Tried the USB option as well, which miraculously worked in DOS). The slowdown was even worse >:(
AmericanDemon:
did you remove the OLD trackball from the equation or is it still hooked up?
hiperco:
Old trackball is removed.
I also tried a fresh setup (reset the .rc files)
I think I will try the wife's Athlon 1700+ system to see how it plays. (It might be the motherboard...)

That's where I'm leaning. Every once in a while, I see a really poor PS/2 implementation. Sometimes a BIOS upgrade can fix the problem. But most times not.
Be a little cautious of those cheap "no-name" boards.
There's also the possibility that the control circuit in the TB is faulty and interrupting the host more often than it should, but that seems less likely.
Good luck,
RandyT
