7800 Joysticks? Hmmm. Come to think of it, I remember trying to use those on a Mega ST several months ago. I also remember having problems using the computer with those joysticks, so we stopped using them! I believe the only difference between the old Atari joysticks and the newer 7800 joysticks (decides the shape of the thing) is that the 7800 joysticks have a second button that is independent of the first. This is great for games like Xevious, Desert Falcon, and Choplifter (all of which use both buttons), but apparently not for the ST!! Not related to the 7800 joystick problem, a friend and I have noticed that many programs don't run properly when a MIDI Keyboard is plugged into the computer. The usual problem is that the mouse and joysticks don't work... Unplugging the keyboard and then rebooting the computer always fixes that problem. To the person who is experiencing problems with Elite: I hope you are able to overcome the difficulties, as Elite on the ST is a great game!!!
