Okay, I reinstalled the MacIvory software Symbolics keyboard
software on my PowerBook G3 running System 8.6.

Effects:

- The trackpad on the Powerbook is not usable
- The button on the Powerbook works
- The Symbolics/Logitech mouse works -> cursor moves normal,
  left button clicks work
- The Symbolics keyboard does not work - no effect on keypress
- Pressing middle or right button "freezes" the cursor.
  Closing the underlying window (pressing command-w) frees
  the cursor -> the mouse works again.
