Post by: ComSoft6128 on 18:29, 17 April 18
Was a trackball ever released for the 6128 or 6128 Plus?


Cheers,

Yes, the Marconi Trackball (as told by Bryce) and there is a DIY (very simple!) which allows to connect an Atari ST trackball. They got 3 fire buttons (like an AMX mouse). Both are supported by FutureOS and the latter one by G-Paint. The Marconi one is like a joystick-mouse, the Atari one is proportional, smooooth.  :)


I got a third one here, but it may be similar to the Marconi one.
