Hi!
Now I'm an owner of an Alphabook. A Notebook with 486SLC33, 4 MB RAM,
120 MB HD. As you can guess this little PC has never seen DOS. I
installed FreeBSD 1.1 and it works really great. Hacking C++ while
sitting in a train or a bus. I'm really happy.
I also installed X on my toy and it works fine, too. But there is one
problem left (or right). The manual of my Notebook didn't told me the
portadress of the trackball. I only found out that the trackball is on
IRQ 12. The trackball works like a PS/2 mouse. I tried a mse-device on
standard portadress but ... no chance.
On which adress is a normal busmouse configured (I've allready tried
0x23c)? Is it possible to find out the adress? "msd", "checkit pro" and
"config" (all DOS stuff) aren't able to find the port. But the "point"
mouse driver under DOS knows all about the trackball but this don't help
me. Can YOU help me?
Please send me an e-mail!!

Thank you a lot... hildi
