I am in the market for a decent trackball for use with my AT&T 6386E
20 MHz, 80386 machine. I need to use this with the following programs:

	Autocad
	Harvard Graphics
	Windows 386
	Orcad (Schematic Capture)
	
The trackball should emulate a Microsoft mouse so that I can use it with 
these and other programs.

Has anyone had any experience with trackballs on the AT&T 20 MHz 386s or
on other 20 MHz 386s? Any idea on durability or sensitivity?

BTW, I have been looking at a keyboard from JDR Microdevices that has a 
built-in trackball. Has anyone connected an IBM compatible keyboard to 
the AT&T 6386 or 6386E? Can it be done with a home-made adapter cable?
Any idea who makes keyboards with trackballs?

Please e-mail any responses directly to me as I seldom get a chance to 
read the news. I will post the results of this inquiry to the net in a
few days.

Thanks in advance...
