Does anyone have a recommendation? > This is a bit of a wacky answer, but there is a product called Goldbrick from Transfinite Systems which allows you to connect most game controllers to the ADB port (i.e.--Nintendo controllers, guns, joysticks, the Mattel Data Glove, etc.). Depending on the controller, you can have up to 6 or 8 control inputs (I'm working from memory here). Not only that, but with the plethora of game controllers, there are generally any number available at firesale prices (e.g.--a 3-D controller with 8 infrared sensors and two buttons for $30). Transfininte is in Cambridge, MA at 617-969-9570. ==>MC/BCS*Mac stx!costello@world.std.com

I saw an add for one by Mouse Systems in Nov. (I think) MacUser. I called them and they said it would be released by now. I wanted to look at it first at MacExpo to see if it worked like I need it to work. That is, to emulate Option-click and Command-click without the use of a macro package. I had this problem with Wiz ...it needed a macro to emulate and it wouldn't work right with Smalltalk. Which is where I need it to work. Ken Warner
