I think the answer is "it depends"... Most (if not all) ADB input
devices are designed for the Macintosh. Some are plug-and-play, others
require drivers. My experience has been that if a device is
plug-and-play on the Mac it will also work on the IIgs. If it does need
a driver I suppose there's a [slim] chance of one being available for
GS/OS.

Somthing else to consider: some (all?) ADB joysticks look like a mice
to MacOS, so in that case you'd be limited to games that have mouse
support.
