    I have a wico trackball that I originally bought for my atari 800
    that I would love to convert to a mouse.  I've been reading this net
    for about 2 years now and I've never heared of anyone converting a wico
    so I gave it up as a lost cause, now I hear that David has one!
    Can anyone help me out?  I've opened the box and there are the usual
    optics and just 1 big IC.  What needs to be done ?  It would also be
    nice if I can flip a switch and go back and forth between mouse and
    joystick (trackball) mode.
    Thanx.
