I have a wico trackball that I originally bought for my atari 800
that I would love to convert to a mouse. I've been reading this net
for about 2 years now and I've never heared of anyone converting a wico
so I gave it up as a lost cause, now I hear that David has one!
Can anyone help me out? I've opened the box and there are the usual
optics and just 1 big IC. What needs to be done ? It would also be
nice if I can flip a switch and go back and forth between mouse and
joystick (trackball) mode.
Thanx.
