I'd like to!  I've been looking for a Trackball for several months, but
can't seem to find one (except a *very* nice one for the Mac, by a company
that is now out of business, I'm told).

I've tried most of the local computer stores, Toys'R'Us and such, and looked
in a variety of magazines that cater to owners of Amiga's, CBM 64/128's,
Atari's, etc., but haven't seen anything whatsoever.

Does ANYONE know of a manufacturer, dealer, etc. for a good Trackball?

I'd try to modify the one for the Mac, but they want about $75 for it,
and with the company out of business, I doubt if I can find any technical
specs on it.  Sigh.
