hi guys,

dunno if offtopic or not, but i wanna buy a joystick for mac /preferably
USB/ that works on a damn PC too.

The techie in the store said there's no PC_gameport-><-ADB adapter or
anything like that, so that's why the USB idea.
Is it really ONLY about driver software? What if i buy a stick that only
says "Windows 98 compatible" - or the contrary, a MacAlly USB stick.

can anyone tell me specific information for 100% SURE?

also, I'm looking for good mac techsupport ng's if anyone knows....

Thx in advance,
Adam(R)
