Does type 4 mean the type that came with Sun4 workstations? How do Sun3 and
Sun4 mouse pads differ? Are replacements still available? Are Mouse Systems
still alive?

Uh, Duh. Ok,
I wondered if it was an IR led but now I know it is and that
it is working because I can get the mouse to move a teeny bit by running
it over dense text.
I think I have to make a mousepad. Any ideas on the distance between
lines etc? --
Is this a Sun4 mouse or Sun3.

Hi
There were two types of mouse pad on the sun's we had here.
I'm not sure what the difference was but I know that
one type would not work on the other. One type was with
a IPC. I'm not sure what the other came from.
I'm currently using a Fujitsu labled roller ball mouse.
I like these better than having to have the optical pad.
The particular mouse I have had some design problems but
I fixed mine and it has no problems now except the normal
dirty ball problem.
