Hello Ad, I do not know Dutch, but I think you are asking if the Trackman Marble and Marble FX work under OS/2. Well, I have a Trackman Marble running with OS/2 just using the standard (Microsoft) mouse drivers. Of course you can only use two buttons, and I am not aware that Logitech provides any drivers for OS/2 with all those extra facilities you get with the Windows drivers. It also runs with Linux as standard Microsoft mouse, and you can use all three buttons. I have not tried the Marble+ (the one with the wheel) or the FX. Some of the newer mice, like the latest one from M$, need to be sent an initialiation from the computer. Linux cannot handle this yet, so OS/2 probably cannot run these either. Hope this helps, Chris Priest.
