We consider tracefree meromorphic rank 2 connections over compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. By deforming the curve, the position of the poles and the connection, we construct the global universal isomonodromic deformation of such a connection. Our construction, which is specific to the tracefree rank 2 case, does not need any Stokes analysis for irregular singularities. It is thereby more elementary than the construction in arbitrary rank due to B. Malgrange and I. Krichever and it includes...
