This reminds me the guy asking in Usenet if he could use a Sun optical mouse at a PC, too. My answer ``I've did it. I've simply replaced Data General's [where my mouse was from] Mini-DIN-connector by a DB-9 connector.'' -- ``How did you do this exactly?'' -- ``Very simple: i've cut off the Mini-DIN and soldered a DB-9 instead.'' -- ``Oooh, I see: very simple.'' :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
