adding a control box to a Sun 3/160

[G.D. Pratt]

Does anyone use/have experience of attaching a "button box" to a Sun for
use in control experiments.

We have a user here who currently uses the mouse to control some software.
He wants to move all this function over to a "button box" with up to six
buttons on it. I guess he needs:-

	- a "button box"
	- a connection to a serial port 
	- a device driver (?) running on Sun to read from the port

Do "button boxes" with serial output exist or are they called micros -):
BTW it is a Sun 3/160 running 4.0.3. Any help appreciated.
