Nope,
We definately have a GB-7s.. The original box etc tells me that much :)
and the buttons arent huge like i remember.. but then again, i was 9 at
the time i last saw the thing ;-) (did some digging on the 'old stuff'
department)
The cartridge that came with it is "Creative Graphics", and has an
HITBIT textlogo on it (we also had a sony hb75, what a coincedence.
Well, this "Creative Graphics" cartridge uses the trackball.
i guess that answeres the original question :)
But to add some stuff:
Back of the cartridge:
CAUTION: yada yada yada etc blah standard stuff
(c) 1984, HAL LABORATORY
Sony Corporation Tokyo Japan Made in Japan/Fabrique au Japan
When you boot with the cartridge, it says:
Eddy2 system
vertion 1.0
Copyright HAL Laboratories
The "vertion" is not a typo, well maybe in the cartridge ;-)
Everything is labeled heavily with HITBIT/Sony things though, seems that
the only thing HAL'ish is the software in the cartridge
So i guess Sony and HAL were happy buddies when it came to trackballs :)
