Re: IIGS - ADB Joystick work?

(although it's most common use is to play Millionaire right now!), the 
other players Stickey Bear Numbers and Letters with the kids :)

thats probably my next project. I just had problems finding the right 
female DB15 (?) connector for it.

Sorry, I don't do user groups anymore, burned out on them in the 80s :)
