My present joystick is about to be abused to death.  The Buster Bros. and
Turrican I/II and Hybris have not been kind to it.  Presently, I'm using a
Suncom Tac30 which I bought at Target for $20.  It satisfies my major needs
for a joystick, being:

1) It hits the diagonals easily and comfortably.
2) It has autofire.
3) Autofire is easy to turn on and off.

However, it's not exactly high-quality, and I sometimes wish that I could
vary the autofire rate and/or attach autofire to my mouse (for Battle
Squadron).  What other autofire devices are available?  How much do they
cost?  And where do you get them?
