Recent discussions have touched on the Spectre GCR.  I have a Spectre
128 and regard it as an excellent accessory for the Atari.  Recently I
have encountered one odd little bug.  I have K1 Ed-Lib from Drumware,
which uses a little gadget plugged into the joystick port for copy
protection.  This gadget seems to drive the Spectre wild, making the
mouse unusable.  I'm using version 1.9 of the Spectre software while
waiting for the new version 3.0.  I have TOS 1.4 - if that matters for
anything.  Has anyone seen this problem before, and is there any
solution short of unplugging the joystick gadget or putting it on a
switch?
