It IS actually called a dongle.
I haven't ever actually USED a dongle, but I remember reading about
them in the old C64 magazines.
I THINK a dongle is a piece of hardware that you attach to your
computer to get a certain piece of software to work. It's nothing more
than an anti-piracy thing. I think on the C64 you'd put the dongle in
the cart port. I'm guessing you'd put an Amiga dongle in the game port
or maybe the floppy port...don't know. :\
