Acutually having a lot of dongelized programs ould give Amiga owners something
new to brag about….i.e. "Well I've got a 10 inches"…."Big deal! I've got
at least 20 inches!" <grin>. Actually with dongles on the serial/parallel por
you could just plub in a short cable and then plug in the dongles into the
cable and then connect your regular serial/parallel cable. This would allow
your dongles to dangle down behind your desk and avoid them sticking out behind
your machine <hmmm…that description can set your imagination going>.
Unfortunately the same solution isn't possible with joystick dongles. I did
see recently an ad for Practical Solutions (Mark Sloatman used to be around
here awhile back) new hw box which plugs in (don't know if it goes into the
joystick or mouse ports or both) and then gives you one mouse and two joystick
ports. It also had a switch on top (don't know what that was for though).
