You aren't trying to hook the Trackball to the I-PAC/2, are you? That won't work. For the LED's, you get 5v from the pin header as shown on the Ultimarc site and transfer that to the LED's using CD audio cables, or whatnot.

oh ok.... i don't need LEDs i just need a 5v output for a trackball....

Okay, the diagram I referenced should get you there (or you could just use one of the HD cables from the PC power supply).
MudFlapMan:
i tried that... i think... i found something online that said the hd power cable had four cables 12v ground and power and 5v ground and power.... yellow and red respectively.... but i hooked it up and still got nothing... maybe i have something wired wrong on the interface... i now wish i would've just spent the extra money for the happ ball ready to plug in.... :-\ .... i've scoured the internet for a tutorial on this conversion but can't find anything....
MudFlapMan:
now i've wired up the 5volt from the ipac... but i still get nothing.. i plug in the ps/2 and it doesn't even recognize new hardware....
