-61- What mice (or other pointing devices) can I use with my SGI?
Date: 20 Apr 1996 00:00:01 EST Indigos need special Indigo mice. Replacement mechanical or optical (take note, mechanical mice haters!) mice are available from SGI or directly from Mouse Systems (510-656-1117). Indigo2s and Indys can use PS/2 mice as per the pcmouse(7) manpage. Dave Yost expands on this: The Indigo2 takes any industry standard mouse of the variety variously known as "IBM PS/2", "Mouse Port" or "6-pin". A PC serial mouse won't do, even with an adaptor, unless it is claimed to work on a PS/2 through an adaptor. The Logitech "MouseMan Cordless" mouse works for me. Onyxes use a custom serial mouse. If you'd prefer an optical mouse over the standard mechanical mouse shipped with the system, call Mouse Systems (510-656-1117) or Qualix (415-572-0200). If you'd like a trackball, call Mouse-Trak (800-533-4822, email yvonne@mousetrak.com).
