Sure, there are several versions of laptop gameports available. Some connect
to the serial port, others connect through the parallel port. Your local
computer retailer should have them. If not, grab a copy of the latest Computer
Gaming World -- they always have full-page ads for the laptop gameports, in
addition to mail-order dealers that carry them.
