So I bought a clunker G3 iBook and wanted to make it a touch screen unit. I called the people at Troll Touch Screens and go a very unsatisfactory we will not sell you the parts, unless we do it here at the factory. Thumbs down for them. especially at $649
But I am curious where I could find a driver for it or somehow make OS X belive its the track pad.
Any ideas?

the ibook g3 trackpad uses a adb bus i think, the g4 uses a usb bus, so it would probably be easy to mod the software of the g4 to get it to recognize the touchscreen as the track pad; i have NO IDEA on how to do this, so if you pull it of PLEASE post a modguide! good luck!

So thats a start, thought I will be curious to see if OS X will let it runInk or Inkwell as it is.
Thanks for the helps guys!
I assume I will be posting more questions.
