Does anyone know what the pinout of an IBM laptop "tackpoint"
(aka "force stick", aka "pointing stick") module looks like?
I came across a moderate quantity of "broken" laptop keyboards
(missing keys, etc), for which the apparent remedy is "discard
and replace")  I'd like to be able to use them ... elsewhere.
I was assuming the moderately extensive electronics would provide
a mouse-like interface, but the (flex) connector has 10 wires
(two are obviously power, so that's a start.)  10 wires is too
many for a standard mouse interface, although from some controller
chip docs I've found, they could be things like button inputs...

Thanks
Bill W
