FYI to anyone interested in this device: Cirque will mail or fax info; call
at 800/454-3375.
PC Zone sells them, but say it has no info on them. (!)

============================
...
There are two common brands of the standalone devices out there. One's by Alps
and one's by Cirque. Cirque developed the technology and licensed it to Alps,
so naturally the Alps devices are a little more expensive in the retail market.
Also, the Alps device comes only for either serial or PS/2 interfacs, not both.
You can get the Cirque device, which comes with a PS/2 interface _and_ serial
adapter, plus a mouse pad, for about $70 from PC Zone, at 800-258-2088.
