Handheld Trackball Driver and Utilities (250-2003)
This driver enables the user to utilize the Handheld Trackball
on an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, 386, 486, or compatible computer. The
trackball can be used on a computer with either a PS/2-type mouse
port or one which has a serial port. On a computer with a serial port,
the trackball is connected to the serial port using a PS/2-to-serial
adapter.
