To those who are knowledgeable about program in GEOS....
How feasiable is it to write my own Input Driver of GEOS?
I recently acquired a TrackBall for the 8-bit Atari. I was
hoping that this device would work with the 1351 mouse driver.
But dissapointly, it didn't not.
So I was wonder if I might be able to write my own driver
for this device. Is this something rather complicated to do?
I also have a proportional Joystick that I would like to use
with Geos. I thought that using a proportinal Joystick with
GEOS would make mouse movement a lot faster. The Joystick that
I have does not return to its center position but stays were it
was positioned. Could this be done?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Sincerely,
Scott K. Stephen
 
P.S.  By any chance, is there a input driver already in existance for
      the above devices?
