You'd think that they would have had blue balls before the grey ones, but
obviously some companies don't follow the same states of decay.  <grin>
So then, assuming from the mention that this was a card-based Logitech Bus
device, I wonder if we could also assume that a properly snooped Microsoft
(or other similar) Bus mouse would work...?

P.S.: As with NeXT's standard warranty, doing anything in this discussion that
  voids your warrantee is YOUR business.  No one is FORCING you to rip open a
  Trackman and make it work.  You break, you cry.
