Recently got my hands on an IBM M5-1. The PS/2 to SDL cable it came with isn't Y'ed, so the trackball isn't working. I've looked all over but can't seem to find one. Anyone know where i might be able to? Or suggest a mod/workaround for this?

Hmm, you could cut open the SDL cable and solder in the other PS/2 conenctor
but your best bet is to just buy another cable:

Exactly what I needed, thank you so much. I don't know why i had so much trouble finding it, i must have googled everything imaginable.

yeah I don't think there's a source for them other than unicomp, and they're sort-of rare otherwise so I wouldn't expect another vendor to have stock.
