Here's some (worm) food for thought.  There is a little company somewhere
here in southernNJ that came to my Apple user group meeting (we are
a PowerMac/Mac/IIGS/III/ClassicII group) demoing a nifty ADB device
with some Mac INITs:  it allowed popular game controllers to emulate
ABD joysticks!  I'm talkin Atari 2600/7800 joysticks, NES pads,
Sega Genesis pads, like 5 other types.  Be nice on the IIGS....
