Can anyone help? I am trying to make an analogue joystick for my son's C64, but the manual doesn't help (surprise, surprise). Can anyone translate Commodore's cryptic codes into real information for me? What *is* A0, A1, etc ...? I have looked in several books but no-one even tries to show how the ordinary (switched) joysticks are connected - they obviously don't trust mere mortals with this sort of information! Personally, I think that I'm capable of dealing with such deep and mysterious information without wrecking the computer (or myself). :-) It may be best to send replies to my mail address: I'll summarise them and post something to this newsgroup if required. Thanks, Dave Jenkins P.S. Non-UK people : don't refer me to `the book by so-and-so' as I might not be able to get hold of it! __________________________________________________________________________ | Dave Jenkins | | | E-mail : djenkins@axion.bt.co.uk | I don't want to achieve | | (..ukc!axion!djenkins) | immortality through my | | Phone : 0473 (+44 473) 646613 | work ...
