I am one of those people who is dedicated to using a Logitec FX=20
Trackball for the pointer on My PC.
They have been out of production for several years. Even when you find=20
one it it will always use a PS2 connector.
I have a rather complex cluster of machines that implements two KVM=20
switches. One of the switches is USB because one of the computers is USB=20
only.
A ps2->usb adapter will not work with the USB KVM. The vendor plainly=20
states that. He is correct. Since the PS2->USB adapter is simply a=20
passive device that connects the appropriate data pins to the different=20
connectors, I think it has to be a timing issue.

My current thinking is to install an USB connector on the trackball and=20
try a short USB cable.

Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. I don't like the try it and=20
see technique other than a last resort!
