	I am trying to design a program that would allow the Atari ST
mouse to work with my Amiga. My friend has an extra Atari mouse and my Amiga
mouse is dead, so it would be a lot cheaper to use his extra ST mouse.
	I tried intercepting the signals from the gameport device using
GPCTRelJoystick and GPCTMouse, but those don't seem to give all the values
that I need. What I really want to be able to do is to read in the values
of all 9 pins (or whatever ones the Amiga can read). Is there a way to do
this that anyone can help me with?

			-Thanks, Brandon!
