: I'm in the planning stage of building a MAME cablnet from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machine, and I'm wanting to put a trackball AND a spinner control on it. However, I'm wanting to run this from pure DOS. I'm going to go through the Hagstrom KE72-T encoder for my trackball (to the PS/2) interface, but I'm not sure how I will be able to hook the spinner up. I would hook it to a serial mouse, but I haven't found any driver that would let me use both a serial and ps/2 mouse from DOS. Does anyone have a solution to this?
