I would like to implement a mouse (preferably, or at least a joystick)
on an IBM PC/XT game port rather than sacrificing a slot or a serial
port.  Is this technically possible?

In the Microsoft Windows setup I just went through there is a choice
of selection for a pointing device of "Kraft Joystick Mouse".  Does
anyone know about this?

Any info on joysticks, mouses for the game port, or references to
such would be appreciated.
