   | Maybe something could be hacked on a Solaris/x86 machine, but SPARCs do
   | not have joystick ports. But they do have parallel and serial ports,
   | maybe not of the same standard as PCs tho (I think some SPARCs are and
   | some aren't). Is there any serial joysticks? :-)

I use a SNES controller connected to the parallel port.  I just followed
the instructions in the new joystick driver docs.  It works wonderfully.
(this is on a PC of course...but wouldn't it be possible to implement this
on a SPARC?)
