Hi.

From my archives, I found an original floppy + manual for a program called PaperClip "Professional Word Processor" by Batteries Included. The disk has a version for C64 on A-side and a C128 version on the B-side.

The user manual describes a "PaperClip Key" that should be connected to joystick port 1. Of course, I don't have that dongle, I got this set from a friend who seems to have lost it. Does anyone have one or schematics for one? Without it, the program loads for awhile but then screen goes blank and it stops there.

Wikipedia article mentions that there was also a key-less version, which I could download, but as a matter of having original disk, it would be interesting to see if this could be made working again.
