Logitech Mouse in Mac OS 8.6

I just got a PowerMac G4 (Yikes!) yesterday and I've been busy setting it up with Mac OS 8.6.  The problem I'm having is that my Logitech mouse isn't being used to its full potential.  The right click functions the same as the left click and the scroll wheel doesn't work at all. 

I remember years ago I was using a Logitech mouse with an original iMac and everything worked as expected.   I think I had to download some software from the Internet for it to work though.  Today I can't find that software and I'm getting really frustrated.  Does anyone have the software I'm looking for?   I've searched Google but couldn't find a link anywhere.

Thanks.

There was a program called USB Overdrive for OS 8+.  It allows you to program any USB device, especially mice.

Yes, that's a good program. Be advised, however, that there are separate versions for OS 8/9 and OS X, so be careful not to download the wrong one.

I downloaded USB Overdrive but couldn't get it to work.  Then I found MouseWare which is actually from Logitech.  It was a PITA to download, but I finally got it, and all is well in the universe.

Thanks.
