Scott McPheeters asks: >1. Can a ST mouse be used through the joystick port on a 8bit? And be control > by normal joystick comands or paddle comands? The ST mouse *can* be used on an 8-bit Atari, but it requires the *TRAK-BALL* handler... it can't be used with the normal Joystick or Paddle commands.. Darryl May of Atari Corp. had offered to upload it to GEnie... it may be there now, but I can't say for sure... Perhaps one of the Atari Corp. reps reading the Net can send the handler over the net... Just for fun, try using the ST mouse with the "Missile Command" cartridge, after hitting CTRL T to enable the "hidden" TrakBall mode... it's a blast..! BobR
