generic three button driver for mac os9

Is there a generic three button driver for Mac OS9? I'm using a generic mouse and it works fine under OSX 10.4.11 on my B&W G3 but when I boot into OS 9.2.1 the scroll wheel doesn't work and for contextual menus I have to use control-click as if it were an original Apple mouse.

Thanks for any info!

Hi, nOmada -

I think you'll find that USBOverdrive will more than meet your needs. I use it with my MS Intellimouse Explorer mouses in OS 9; it can handle at least five buttons plus scroll wheel, and allows setting different funtions for the buttons in different programs, switching sets on the fly as you switch from program to program. You can get the OS 9 version from VersionTracker via this webpage -
