Has anyone else noticed that scroll wheels are not supported through classic?
(And as a secondary question(so don't move this thread to genius bar
): does anyone know how to make it work? I have a logitech MX500)

Even natively in Mac OS 9, I rarely came across programs that supported the scroll wheel. I think this is just a drawback to OS 9 itself.

The classic version of
USB Overdrive
will work. Scrollwheels aren't natively supported under OS 9.

This is because you have drivers that work under 9 but aren't classic compatible, whereas USB Overdrive is. I use it for my Logitech under OS X, classic & 9

thank you, just tried it, it works brilliantly (well not at first, classic wouldn't start properly).
