Is anyone aware of any footpedals that mimic mouse buttons for SPARC 
workstations?

Thanks,

Michael.

Well, the Kinesis keyboard comes with up to two footpedals.  As soon
as they release their Sparc version, this could be a good starting
point.  You could probably do something truly messy with xmodmap to
turn your virtual keyboard keys into mouse buttons.

It wouldn't be *terribly* difficult to hack together yourself.  Start
with a standard Radio Shack footpedal.  Get the pinout of the mouse
cable, and insert in the appropriate place.  Getting the pinout is
probably the only hard part.
