I love trackballs.
I recently gave a friend a modem, and she gave me her Microsoft Trackball, a USB device with software that said it would run on both OS X and 8.6-9.x. I'm running a hybrid PCI Mac on OS 9.1, with a USB-Firewire card and a powered USB hub.
So I loaded the software, hooked up the trackball... and the system froze. An address error.
So I restarted with Extensions off, fiddled with the order of two of the extensions, each time yielding the same thing.
I looked through my USB extensions and found gobs I had no use for, de-selected them in Extensions Manager, and started up. No address error. But also no trackball movement.
Now, prior to that final step, the trackball would work, after a fashion, with extensions off.
I deinstalled the software, went online, and got the newest version. Loaded it in, hooked up the trackball again, and...
Still no trackball function.
I am using my ADB trackball, still. The USB trackball is still hooked up. If I take off the ADB device, I have no trackball functionality at all.
Any ideas?

Tim,
Don't know what to tell you about the microsoft trackball. But I have 3 Logitech Trackman Trackballs, I picked up here at my local BX for $20.00 a piece.. The cd didn't have os 9x software on it, but the website had all I needed. 1 runs on this G3/300 OS X/9.2.1 box, an 8600/300 running 9.2.1/8.6 and my 55/6500/250 frankenmac running 8.6
-just my $0.02 -nathan
