I notice there's been a lot of discussion lately about the Epyx 500XJ joystick 
here. I, too, have been looking for an Amiga-compatible version of this 'stick 
with no success. 

Does anyone know if you can use Sega (either Master System or Genesis) 
compatible joysticks on the Amiga? I've heard folks mention this here in 
passing, but no sales critters seem to have a good answer when I ask this. If 
Master System sticks can be used unmodified on the Amiga, then I know where 
you can get Epyx 500XJ sticks for the awesome price of ***$4.99***/each.

If anyone has a definitive answer for this question, let me know ASAP, as I 
suspect these will go fast. If I don't hear from anyone soon I will go ahead 
and buy one (no refunds or exchanges) and figure it out for myself.
