Dr. Mac's OS X Tip-of-the-Day  

Dr. Mac - More Jaguar Scroll Wheel Tricks.

By Bob LeVitus

Since this week seems to have become somewhat the scroll-wheel week, here's another one about scroll wheels and Jaguars, this time from a patient named Steve, who said:

Not until you showed me! But you're right - it's pretty cool. I'm not sure if it'll be useful, but it's definitely cool.

By the way, it works with my Kensington TurboMouse Pro and its driver software, and also with an IntelliMouse Explorer hooked up to my PowerBook with no additional driver software. So I am pretty sure whatever makes it work is somewhere within Jaguar.

Give it a shot.
