I'm very curious about this dial all of a sudden - I just started doing refinements, and I'd love to use my laptop as much as possible instead of our slow old SGIs. Has anyone used it on Linux? How's it work with O? Could it theoretically be programmed to, say, flip through rotamer libraries or tweak torsion angles in PyMOL, with some additions to the Python layer? $40 isn't a lot of it's a decent partial replacement for SGI dial boxes.
thanks, Nat
