Well, in my admittedly small test sample (a pirate Arkanoid board) my TRON
spinner didn't work, but an Atari ST mouse did. This could quite easily
be:

1) Operator Error. (Maybe had something hooked up wrong with the spinner)
2) Weird Arkanoid board. (Maybe it used some level triggered thing that
messed it up.)

Maybe I'll try again and see what happens. ;-)
