My understanding is that the CoCoMax high-res joystick interface is a real
live 8-bit A/D setup, while the Radio Shack high-res joystick interface is,
judging by its size, probably just a few components.  I don't know the theory
of operation.  I do know that the one I bought from RS doesn't work--it seems
to have an urge to move to the far right of the screen if it gets within a
certain distance from the right edge, and there is a fairly hefty region of
the screen that is very hard to move to for some reason.
