My experiences are with a USB Kensington 2-button scrolling mouse, but I'd guess that the experience would be similar with a trackball.
I installed a Kensington USB card in my 3000/240 w/o any problems and plugged in the Kensington 2 button scrolling mouse which worked fine, with a couple of exceptions: -- The scrolling function doesn't work with some programs (like QuarkXpress, which Kensington acknowledges) -- The scrolling function appears to cause one of my older programs to crash. But it's the only one I've ever found it happening to. The USB card installation is a snap -- although you will need OS 8.6 to run it (at least mine did).
