Hello, Jeff

I'd the same problem in connecting a Logitech Photman to a
NeXTworkstation via SerialPort. I asked Logitech and they
gave me information about how to do the job, including a
nice C-Source.

So I think ask Logitech. Here is the adress of the Headquarters

LOGITECH Inc.
6505 Kaiser Drive
Fremont, CA 94555, USA
Tel.: ++1(510) 795 8500

Nice Greetings from Munich - Germany
