Call me crazy, but if you want to use a trackball "upside down",
wouldn't running ESUOM from the last batch of Fish disks do the trick?
If you reverse both the hardware and the software, you come out right
side up, right?

You'd still have to switch the mouse button functions, but I think
I remember seeing a hack to do that in software too.
