To clarify things for those who are talking about joysticks....the
standard joystick interface on the amiga supports THREE buttons, and as yet
there is only one joystick I know of which can use two of them...
The Starcursor (An Australian made stick) which has three buttons, two of
which can be read thought the amiga...the third button is wired to the unused
pin of the connector...although that wouldnt be too hard to fix.

If you want to use the other button, it is the same pin as the "middle" mouse
button which is supported in hardware but not in software.

Aside from this, the StarCursor is by far the best joystick in existence.
