I haven't done much of a writeup on it (haven't done any, actually), but I
designed an adapter that plugs into the joystick port and includes a
real-time clock, relay controller, and interface for Dallas Semiconductor's
1-Wire devices (among which you can get temperature sensors, switches, and
other stuff).  The board is tiny (without the wire-wrap socket, it fits in a
matchbox) and uses just a handful of components.  I use one to control the
fridge that ferments my homebrew, but I still have several empty PC boards
available.  I also have the CAD files and (GPL'd) software available.  If
you're interested, send me email (mind the message about my address in the
sig).
