[comp.sys.cbm] C128D joy stick port

pcr@genrad.com (Perry Rothermel) (01/11/91)

I own a C 128D and the way it is set up on my computer table (under a shelf),
 it is annoying to pull it back and forth from under this shelf whenever I
 want to swap from mouse to joy stick, back to mouse.
What I would like to know is there some sort of "extension cord" for the joy
 stick ports? This way I could leave the computer in its place.
Any help would be appreciated in obtaining 1 of these (That is if such a
 thing exists).    Thanks for the help!

I believe I saw a device advertised that would allow you to plug both a mouse
and a joystick into, and then you flip a switch to select which device
you wanted to use.  This may be more than you are looking for.  I will look
for the ad and post more details later.
