	Thanks to all who helped, but it seems that I was not specific enough
about the nature of the problem.  On my friends IIe, the joystick works fine,
centering at about 127 and maxing at 255.  Put it on my IIgs, and it centers at
about 40 and maxes at 80.  Oddly enough, it seems to work perfectly within that
0 to 80 range.  Unfortunately, that doesn't help unless the game lets you 
center your joystick before play.  This leads me to believe that it is actually
a problem with the computer, and not the joystick.  Is there anything I could
have done that would make the joystick behave this way?  (after all, the
original joystick worked for about 6 months before these symptoms appeared.)
I suppose if I cannot figure it out, I will have to return the joystick after
all (and a damn fine joystick it is too :-( ).  Thanks again.
