If you've got a mouse on your IIc, you can use it as a "paddle
emulator" for any program that uses the firmware routines to read the
paddles. From BASIC:

PR#4
Ctrl-A
PR#0

Will activate it. Note that later IIc's with memory expansion have the
mouse in slot 7 instead of 4, and most commercial software titles will
bypass the firmware, but it works fine for "Little Brick Out" etc.
