Hardware

Stereographics

OS X now supports stereographics, both native and X11. However you need a special (expensive) video-card and an appropriate CRT monitor. I don't have either, so I am hoping someone else will help by making a stereographics on os x page.

PowerMate Dial

Griffin Technologies makes a metal dial that is programmable and can be used with O, PyMOL and Coot, among other applications.

PowerMate Dial web site

Here are instructions on how to configure it:

PowerMate_dial_configuration_v2.x for O. Most is generalizable, so read this first even if you read the following:

Using powermate dials with PyMOL

Using powermate dials with coot

SGI Dialboxes

David Gohara has figured out how to use SGI dialboxes with Apple computers.
