re: coco mouse

unfortunately, the RS mouse is actually a joystick in disguise.  Rolling
the mouse around adjusts potentiometers in the mouse that are just like those
in an analog joystick.

the good news is that you can make it work on an Apple as a joystick by the 
simple expedient of two trace-cuts and two 0.002 uf capacitors (and cut off 
that silly DIN connector.
