	I think Hayes ...err CH products... makes exactly what you're talking
about..

	I forget the name but it's a joystick that acts like a mouse... (or
a mouse that looks/acts like a joystick? Heh)

	But unless you have a Y cable from your ADB port this would be
difficult... The mouse/joystick thing doesn't have its own ADB port I don't\
think but even if it did it'd be annoying to be connected to the next guy
AND the ADB port...

	And of course we'd need all new software.. And we SURELY don't want to
expect people ot write software for NON standard hardware... the current
GS gets too little software the way it is!
