Hmm ... I doubt this will work. What I did some years ago was to put an ST
mouse into a C 64. I wrote a simple driver program for it (<200 bytes 6502
code :-), it really worked!! It was the best mouse at all (much better than
all these pseudo-joystick mouses I'd seen before), but unfortunately no
commercial program was compatible to it. So only my own programs supported
this little hack.
