IF YOU HAVE A USB CARD ON YOUR STARMAX THEN IT�S NO PROBLEM TO USE A "MS-DOSen" WHEEL MOUSE, I WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS WITH A LOGITECH-MOUSE ON MY MAC. YOU NEED USB, YOU CAN BUY A USB1.1-PCI CARD, FOR NORMALLY 20-25 �(IN GERMANY). FOR USB CARD YOU NEED MAC OS 8.6- BETTER IS 9.1. YOU BUILD THE CARD IN ONE OF YOUR PCI-SLOTS, PUT THE MOUSEPLUG INTO THE CARD AND INSTALL YOUR DRIVER.WITHOUT USB YOU CAN USE A STANDARD MS-MOUS WITH PS/2, BUT YOU HAVE ONLY ONE PUSH BUTTONS; WITH A SPECIAL SOFTWARE TWO PUSH BUTTONS > 2) At some point in the future I will connect this > to my network (with > Linux, Windows 2000, and Windows 98).

FOR A NETWORK WITH WINDOWS AND MAC YOU NEED A APPLICATION, I USE FOR MY LITTLE NETWORK(MAC-WINDOWS XP) A "PC-MACLAN 9" DEMO, YOU CAN FIND THIS BY HTTP://MIRAMAR.COM. I KNOW THAT THERE IS SOME OTHER GOOD SOFTWARE FOR A PC-MAC NETWORK; BUT I DON�T REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THIS, SORRY. FOR LINUX I HAVE NO IDEAS, I HOPE THAT SOMEONE IN THIS LIST KNOW TO BUILD A NETWORK WITH LINUX. > 3) Can I use my standard Nec 17 inch multisync > monitor without any > problems? YOU CAN USE YOUR NEC WITHOUT PROBLEM GOOD LUCK, martin.grellmann. ===== ---projekt liemoroo\ liquid ambient for new rooms\contact:Martin GrellmannGoslarsche Strasse 19D-31134 Hildesheime-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:179715541--- __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
