Yes, they work fine. However, if the paddles are being read constantly, and the speaker is usually making sound, then the accelerator will be slowed down for a significant fraction of the time, affecting all processing. You have to try it with a particular game to see how much it is accelerated. -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
