This kind of controller is necessary if you plan on doing any multi-
tasking (and why would you be going to OS-9 if you weren't?), especially
in a multi-user situation.  I'm using the old Rat Shack controller, and
the only reason why I haven't bought a new one is because I'm working on
getting a hard drive instead.

You can always pick up hardware and software at extremely low prices at
the Rainbowfests - makes me wish they'd have one close enough to where
I could justify the cost of traveling to one!  Going to Chicago just to
spend MORE money on my computer just doesn't seem to be a very cost-
effective way to purchase equipment.

Rainbowfest Houston?  I doubt it somehow...
