Just going out on a limb here, but I would imagine that what to THoR is a "museum piece", is a much more common piece of tech in St. Petersburg, Russia, perhaps?  LOL.  Great hack, anyway!  Funny thing, I just bought another Cocolino today, but if I were more inclined (and less happy with how well the Cocolino works) I might be willing to try it.  I've got a drawer full of old mice (not the cheese-eating kind, but there may be one or two of those in there also!)  :roflmao:

Do track-balls still exist for the Amiga?

They definitely still exist.  I have one.  I think what you mean is "Can you still buy one?"  In that case, ummm...  ebay?  Amibay?  Maybe this mod would work on a trackball, too?  :idea:
