Kenneth, Been there, hated it, bet you do too <grin>… You have two options that I know of if you want to continue using Scala and the GLock. The one I settled on was plugging the Scala dongle into your first mouse port and then plugging your mouse into it. You can then plug the GLock (without dongle) into the second mouse port. If you do this, you will lose the right mouse button capability on your mouse. Fortunately, you can use a keyboard equivalent (RAmiga + RAlt) to bring back this functionality but it's admittedly not very fun. The other option you have is plugging your GLock into the parallel port. The ReadMe files that came with the GLock I was using indicted this was possible and gave appropriate instructions. I did not get a chance to try this out on the project I was working on due to time restrictions, but I would consider this a much better option unless your parallel port is already used! I have some rather strong feelings about dongles so I better not comment on Scala claiming it's not their problem… EdV
