Peripherals



ADB

The Starmax has an ADB port like any Mac. It seems to have trouble with more than about four devices, though. I really wanted to have an Adjustable/Ergonomic keyboard, mouse, trackball, joystick, and glidepoint, but it just wouldn't work. My Starmax refused to identify one or two of the devices at each startup, and it wasn't always the same ones.


PS/2

One common complaint about the Mac is the lack of two-button mice. Even with the new USB Macs, Apple still doesn't have a two-button mouse. Well, two button PS/2 mice are very common, and the Starmax can use them. I used TheMouse2B to control the second button. Works fine in the finder, but not in Unreal. Oddly, TM2B does make the second button of a Kensington TurboMouse function properly in Unreal. Which is fine, because I prefer the trackball for that sort of game anyway.
