help w/ mouse to trackball hack

(1/2) > >>

taternutz:
I just received a used wico trackball and performed the mouse hack while at work (shhhhh) but whe I brought it home and hooked it up the mouse does not respond well with it, I increased the mouse speed still no good response, when you spin the rollers fast the mouse does not move until they start to slow down quite abit. Is there something I could have done wrong or is there something I can easily fix without trashing the used ball and buying new...

struby:
what kind of mouse was it?

taternutz:
It was a standard PS/2 mouse about 4-years old.

Minwah:
Not a Logitech one?  They are often not easily hackable using the normal method...

taternutz:
No, not a logitech but a mitsumi, could it be possible that one of the optical boards in the trackbal could be going bad? because I switched the 2 boards from left and to up & down and the problem seemed to follow w/ the board. So can the boards be purchased, should I chuck the unit or can you make new boards????

Thanks Again,

Tater
