Yvon:

Yes, on my Mac 7300  I have a Belkin 4-port PCI card to which I have 
attached a USB Logitech MouseMan Wheel, and it works fine both with Mac 
OS and Linux.  Left and right buttons are as expected.  The wheel is the 
middle button (you just press it).  The wheel can also be used to scroll 
pages in both Linux and Mac OS.  You do have to get the USB software 
support from Apple, but it is a free download from their website, and 
typical Apple-easy to install.  I bought these items several years ago, 
but I would imagine they are still available.


If I can provide you any further information, feel free to contact my 
via e-mail.  Oh yes, the usual disclaimer: I have no financial interest 
in Belkin or Logitech, etc.
