- Hey, went a dusted off my ol' Atari 2600 and lo what do we have
- hear: a Video Touch Pad(tm)! Some of you probably remember it, a small keypad
- that plugs into the joystick port and has a grid of 3x4 soft touch buttons.
- It orginally came with the game Star Raiders (?) to raise shields, hyberspace,
- etc.
- Anyhow, enough of that. I was wondering if anyone had written a driver
- or some such piece of software to make use of this on the Amiga? The only real
- pratical thing I can think to use it for right now is some sort of macro
- launcher- myself I hate hitting cntrl-lalt-rshift-lamiga-f1 to "save time". Be
- nice to just have this baby off to the side in the 2nd port.
