Original post:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are looking for a way to replace the mouse on a DECstation 5000/240
with a trackball.  Does anyone know of a trackball which will work
on DECstations?

Or, does anyone know of a way (adapter, etc.) to put a standard
PC mouse or trackball on a DECstation?  That would allow us to
use any of many trackballs available for PCs.

Thanks,

I got three responses (very quickly), all pointing to ITAC Systems, 
who makes a trackball compatible with DECstations.
