why not just pull the circuit board out of a mouse,
make a platform with wheel cutouts and mount it on top
of the mouse wheel sensor, so that the wheel can contact
one of the zip drive wheels.

i'm sure i can write a simple mouse driver that can record the input.

i'm also wondering about making it load bearing..i can make a drum out of rubber hose that has similar weight to that of the zip zap...the zip would spin the rubber hose and in-turn the rubber hose would spin the mouse sensor.
