- I have a joystick I wish to use on my notebook computer but there is
- no option of adding a gameport. There is an expansion chassis available
- but expensive and cumbersome. It has a serial port and a dedicated
- mouse port. Since mice and joysticks both convert linear motion into
- signals I thought it might be possible to make an adaptor which would
- allow me to use the joystick in the mouseport. It is a standard joystick
- and Microsoft compatible mouseport. Thanks.
