Atari 8-bit Mice, Trackballs & Adaptors
« on: March 14, 2009, 06:14:13 PM »
Ok, another Atari 130XE related question.

I am getting things ready to use Black Magic Composer via this:

http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation/


The things is that I forget something...

...Ok Black Magic Composer can use an Atari ST mouse or an Atari 2600 joystick to control things, so I am wondering first off if I can just use an Atari trackball instead of one of those crappy ball based mice. Secondly was there ever an PC Mouse to Atari ST adaptor built and is it available, and would it work on an Atari 8-bit?

Thankx in advance!

Atari Age has an excellent forum, you're better off asking there I guess. I do own more then 1 Atari 8-bit, but the real techie guys are all in that forum.
