: I'm getting ready to purchase my spinner and trackball, and I'm trying to decide on my interfaces. The Oscar Spinner is available in USB.. So is using USB a good idea?

Depends upon what you wish to use it with. For windows, good. For DOS, bad.

:Will it be supported in DOS versions of MAME?

No.

:I am not sure if I will go with DOS or Windows for my cabinet, but I want to leave all options open. Should I instead go for an interface which uses serial or PS/2?

: Thanks.
: -Tony

The choice is yours. I have heard of some people using the PS/2 for their mouse and then using the serial ports for the trackballs.
