Apparently not, since no program I tried recognises it as a mouse. And then 
again: it has 3! buttons!

Can't MSX trackballs be used in the same way as MSX mouses, using
PDL, STRIG and BIOS routines?
BTW, PC trackballs can be used in MSX like normal mouses using
AdMouse.

Re: Software that works with Sony GB-7 Trackball

2000-05-04 Thread Floris 'Tamama' van Gog

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 :)
