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).
