>>>I was given an old, free SpaceBall 5000 (serial) which I bought a Serial-To-USB adapter in order to also use on the same laptop (i.e. When I travel, I want to use the Space Navigator. When the laptop is mounted to docking station at home, I want to use the SpaceBall.).
Note: Current software is 3DxWare V4.2.7; firmware V2.45 and it is recognizing this 'new' SpaceBall 5000-A.
PROBLEM: If I setup to one of the devices, the next time I try the other device... the other device is "not found in the registry"... and it doesn't matter what I do... the other device doesn't work (and the "3D"connexion icon doesn't appear in the system tray, because it cannot find the prior device it was setup with previously... because the alternative device is now connected. The only way to make it work is uninstall the software and reinstall it with the alternative device connected. And vice versa when I want to use the other device. Obviously it is a PITA to uninstall and reinstall constantly... as I switch back and forth.
QUESTION: Is there a version of software that can recognize EITHER alternative devices? Or is there something in the setup somewhere to make it accept both devices???
