Re: GeeThree PS/2 to ADB adapter and the IIGS

["A.J." <naijireja@yahoo.com>]

I found a one-button mouse by Macally that I can try once I'm able to
unpack my IIGS after moving.  Has anyone tried this mouse to see if it
works?

One thing I will also try doing is to adjust the mouse tracking.  I'm
not sure if this will fix the system slowdowns when the mouse is moved,
even if GS/OS is not running.

Thanks,
--A.J.
