   Not that I've ever heard of. Mac stuff would be ADB devices (unless
it's really oddball and uses serial) which is supported only by the
GS. Unless something is very specifically written to look at the ADB
chain, it won't see it, since the GS's hardware does not translate
between the ASB devices and the joystick port. [Well, excepting the
open apple and option keys to the joystick buttons, but that's a
hanger-on from the //e]
