Harry,
There are several Trackballs listed in the TRI/ADD Shippable Products catalog
and at least one of them has a "mouse port" connector (according to the vendor
description). You'd need to call the vendor and ask them which systems they
support (I'm not sure about the VS4000/60). You can make an anonymous ftp copy
of the catalog from
gatekeeper 16.1.0.2 gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps
gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps.Z
I hope that this helps.
Thanx,
AJ
