The following is a letter that I received from sm.luth.se!d89-ahg (Anders Hedberg). The letter is in response to my comment about it not being good to disconnect power and ground from a circuit (the mouse or joystick) without also disconnecting the other signal lines. ] Hello! I have seen this discussion for a while but I haven't been able to ] write this to the newsgroup. ] I've built a switchbox that disconnects the power and ground lines to the ] mouse when I wanna use the joystick, and it has worked over 9 months by ] now. ] Any questions? Email me! ] Please write the above in the newsgroup! Comment it with some warnings ] if you want to... ] mvh Anders Hedberg No warnings - You could very well get away with this. Personally I don't think it's worth the risk. Steve usc.edu!amy!hansel gryphon.com!amy!hansel
