Using a mouse for hires graphics work would be much more preferable than using a joystick. I know Radio Shack has a mouse for their color computer for $49.95 (on sale for $34.95). It has a DIN type connector. Could it be so easy as to cut off the DIN connector and wire up the sub-D connector? Radio Shack's joysticks use two pots for x/y direction and a separate switch for the 'fire' button. According to the C64 Reference Manual, the Commodore joysticks use 'digital switches'. Does anybody out there know how the joysticks really work? Other than the connector, are Radio Shack's controllers compatible?
