Bringing old PS/2 trackball to new mac - Possible?

[Wheaty]

Hello

I've not bought my first Mac yet 😱, but I already have a question.

I have a Logitech Trackman Marble FX, Trackball wich I really like. However the penny dropped the other day, that it was of an era of PS2 - serial connections not USB - PS2. So when I do get my shiny new mini, will I be able to get it to work 😕

I Have seen adapters like these and more expensive ones, but will they do the job, Although they imply they will?

Not fussed about the keyboard. I think I have a couple USB ones in the loft. And If the mouse doesnt work I'll use my graphics tablet for the short term... But I do like my little tracker ball! And I would rather spend the cash on memory than a new mouse/trackerball etc.

Thanks

The adapters should work just fine.
