>While they're hard to find, there's already a perfect candidate for the
TI-joystick. It's calles the ICONtroller, and it's designed as a
replacement for the mouse on portable machines. It's a pretty old
product, but since it plugs into the serial port, people with the
PIClink or the TI-GraphLink could probably use it almost immediately.
I'm surprised that no one brought this up before.

stick with a set of buttons on it, one of them being right on top of the
stick. Maybe we should look into it. I'm trying to find a PC
"graveyard" that still has them.

Even if you find only a few, you could probably lookinside and make
aSchematic and post it. Then you wouldn't have to search. Just build the
electronics and put it into a small, new joystick.
