[rescue] Sun Type-4 keyboard problems WAS:::::::::::Fwd: Re: Looking for reflective metal Mouse Systems mousepad

[Jerry Kemp]

Can't take credit for this, archived note from Lionel.

Also, not sure how long a paper mouse pad will last, but this ought to work for 
troubleshooting purposes, to determine between Sun optical mouse vs mouse pad.

I suppose if it (paper mouse pad) works, but quickly wears out, it will be 
pretty quick/cheap/easy to print out as many new ones as you need.

Hope this helps,

Jerry

There was a postscript file (or was it PDF?) that allowed you to print a
mousepad - the ruled page worked as well as the reflective metal pad as I
recall...

PDF file here:

But that's likely not what you want - maybe this will help:

Good luck!
