Glidepoint pinouts?

I picked up a Glidepoint (touch-mouse pad) device at surplus.
These RS232 and PS/2 mouse protocols, but I don't know the pinouts.
Can anyone help?
 
Give these a look:

I'm not sure if that's what he wanted...I don't know, but I picked up
touchpad unit from Electronic Goldmine for about a dollar a while ago. It
didn't have any cables connected to it, so I had to figure out the pinout on
it's little connector. As far as I know it only runs in PS/2 mode.

If he has cables, then I guess what you posted was about right...acts pretty
much like a regular mouse so I don't know why he would need to ask us in
that case.
 
Woops, I see what you're saying.....he wants the pinout of the device
itsself.......... my bad.

If I find anything I'll repost.

I'm not saying that's necessarily the case, but he is going to have to
specify a little better. If he's looking for the pinout and it's essentially
the same as my device, I can help.

Sorry folk, Garrett was right. There are four wires running into a
connector having 8 or 9 pins on the circuit board, but the connector
from the other end is missing. I suspect these wires run to the RS-232
pins, but unless there's a standard colour coding I'm still guessing.

And yes, it was $1 at surplus :)

Thanks for the help folk. I just received official protocol
documentation (PS/2 and RS232) and RS232 connector details
from Circue. No more guessing... Garrett, I'll send them on
if you wish.

Thanks...but that's ok, mine only had a four-pin connector on the board. I'm
pretty sure it was only intended to work with PS/2. And it's an Alps
touchpad. ;-) Works ok, the PS/2 protocol is easy enough to use with
microcontrollers.
