Dave, thanks a lot for your info.  But I'm in the opposite position!
I've got a Logitech bus mouse but no game port.  Obviously I'm stuck
(unless Logitech does magic on the card) for self booting games, but
does anyone know of a driver that'll make my mouse look like a joystick
to games?

Is PMI, that company with the $80 EMS/serial/parallel/game port card,
still in business?  I haven't seen their ads in a while.
