I use either the trackpad [desperation] or a cordfull logitec serial/ps2
mouse [the old clunky 3 button (pilot?) mouse].
Plan 9's USB support is pretty minimal (iirc) and USB is 'orrible.
I know have the beginnings of a CPU/auth server on a PCG-Z600LEK,
which used to run (and still does) Windows 2000, but I had to re-write
the MBR and all that to get it to go as well as all sorts of trickery
because a: instead of $adisk was by [the installation] /rc/bin/cpurc.
It took me a while, but the hack was:
c:
cp /rc/bin/cpurc /tmp/cpurc
ed /tmp/cpurc
1,$s/a:/c:/g
w
q
rc -x /tmp/cpurc
[It was late and all this is from memory]
