uh, it was my understanding that the 16-pin game port inside the IIgs
was non-functional... every attempt that I made to use it or access it
failed miserably, with functional equipment pulled from a IIe 16-pin
game port. Perhaps i'm wrong (i'll trust your judgement on this one, David),
but even after posting to csa2, someone else told me that they'd never
had any luck with it, either.

just curious, 'cause this might tend to be a small problem if Matt
wants to use it...
