Mouse control of guns in B-17: The Mighty 8th

I'm physically disabled, and have trouble using a joystick, or even a
gamepad. Is there ANY way (mod, hack, whatever) that I can use my
trackball to control movement of the guns??? I've tried using the
keyboard controls, but that really doesn't work well. Shooting down a
fighter that way is pretty much dumb luck. Any help or ideas is
greatly appreciated.

This product probably won't control guns, or even work in that game, but it
may help in other titles: http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/

Thanks, but that's way out of my price range, and as you said,
it probably wouldn't work anyway.
