Yeah I figured that Overdrive X probably wasn't specifically designed to handle a USB - PS/2 change up. My best search efforts for products of similar ilk revealed a couple of products at: http://www.usbstuff.com/ps2.html The Microspeed version advertised on this site looks very close to the adaptor I have, and in the blurb it says "Fully compatible with Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2K & XP and Mac OS 8.6 and up" So I went to their web site (http://www.microspeed.com/indexfla.html) but couldn't find any Mac drivers for this product, let alone OSX versions. In fact I'm not even sure it is Mac compliant. I then tried the piengineering product (http://www.piengineering.com), which also claims " For virtually all desktop and laptop systems - Win 98 /SE /ME /2K /XP /CE (!) /Linux, HP Unix and Sun OS w/USB /Apple iMac & Mac OS 8, 9 & OS X". However, I could only find what appears to be an OS8.6 extension. Finally, I tried the Belkin product, (http://www.belkin.com), but it appears to be plug-n-play. Gave up after this and got on with using the trackpad :) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
