[comp.sys.ibm.pc] request information about joystick port?

brian@braille.uwo.ca (Brian Borowski) (09/21/89)

Hello:

I would like to know if someone in this newsgroup can provide
the following information about the joystick port on a standard pc?

1.  I would like specific information about the analog to  digital converter 
apparently available on this port?
2.  Information about maximum sampling rate resolution and pins used?
3.  How does one access this port using software (I would be writing my
own), so would need to know about calls or interrupts etc?

If I am misinformed about the fact that there is an ADC in the machine
could someone let me know this?  Finally, if all of this
has come across the net before and I have missed it; could
someone please send me the results of these previous discussions?

Thanks for your help regarding this matter.
