60-in-1 "B" Board and Trackball - Tech Tip

Just an FYI:

I just built my first 60-in-1 using a "B" board with a Happ trackball (red boards). While the "B" has dual-trackball support like the "A", it appears there is a problem with the on-board trackball connector (which works fine on the "A"). The +5 and GND are operational, but the directional inputs are not. Unless there is an undocumented dip switch set-up (there must be a reason these things have an 8-position dipswitch instead of 4-position like they used to), the only way to get the trackball to work with the "B" version is to connect it to the 2-Player directional inputs on the harness. After doing that, the trackball works fine.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has problems...
