   Thorsten and Götz,   
      
   Thanks for the suggestions.  I have Atari joysticks so will buy and try   
   using a  9 pin to USB adapter on my Macbook.   
      
   I can't seem to train my 70 year old fingers to use the cursor keys   
   fast enough for the game Prensorium.   
      
   I was initially looking for an Atari similar USB joystick to use with   
   Hatari on a Mac.   
      
   I am also working on getting some of my ST computers back in operation.   
    The main problem with the Atari computers is the floppy disks have not   
   aged very well.  The old disks tend to shed their magnetic coating and   
   gum up the floppy drive heads.   The programs that will run from a hard   
   drive are still useable but I am not having much luck with the old   
   floppys.
