In Reply to: 2 Spinners and trackball suggestions... posted by Derrick Judge on 18, 2001 at 3:45 AM:
I have two spinners and a trackball too. I made the spinners using the x and y axis of a mouse. I had to use a dummy circuit board to mount the y axis on but it worked fine. I'm running my trackball through the ME4 from Hagstrom Electronics and into a Y-mouse PS/2 splitter so I can plug my trackball and mouse for the two spinners in at the same time. This is a pretty expensive way of doing it though since the Y-mouse cost $50 and the ME4 cost $35 w/out cables. I didn't want to mess with it so I just bought those and it works great. My web site has more on how I made the two spinners. Read the dual spinners section. Ignore the switch for the trackball and spinners since that isn;t how I do it anymore..but I guess that's another idea :)I use Emuplus to play dual spinner games and rotary stick games. Good Luck!
Game on!! Brian
: Does any one have suggestions for running 2 spinners and a trackball?
: I was thinking the ipac product or the 2 Oscar spinners connected to the serial connector and the trackball into the PS/2 connector.
: USB is out since I need to use DOS and arcade OS
