Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mice and mouse cards for the IIe are getting expensive and difficult to find.
Describe the solution you'd like
For those of us running a2d on an actual IIe, allowing the joystick to control the mouse cursor would be a cheap and effective alternative way of allowing input.
