Hi Michael,

Not that I'm aware of. We've had good success with a device called "The
Unwinder" made by TPG. The unwinder can accept input from two joysticks and
provides an RS-232 interface that can be easily read and interpreted on an
SGI. The product includes easy to follow examples of how to do this - we
had a set of PC flight controls integrated with software on an SGI Onyx
system in a couple of hours. Here's the link:

'Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Murray
