Well, I modified an ATARI 2600vcs cx22 trackball(2 bttoned one) and added
a joystick port to it and I am quite happy with it, I replaced the case because
the buttons are to far away from the trackball, otherwise I like it alot since Ihate the mouse buttons on the ST mouse and have rather limited desk space.
The modifications are easy by the way.. I will look for the text file.
