[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Joysticks/Game Ports

rwmira01@ULKYVX.BITNET (Rob Miracle) (06/30/89)

I just got a Joystick for my IBM Standard Game port (works Lousy with Falcon,
but great with FS3 :-) ) and I was wondering how to write programs that access
the stick.  I assume that there is a port (or more) that you read the X, Y and
fire information from.  Does any one know the addresses of these ports or point
me to any references that I might find?

Thanks in Advance
Rob
