The numbers are the pin-numbers of each contact.
I got it from a fabricated cable, that had the firebuttons wired in a
different manner, but this works with my version of Gauntlet II, the other
cable didn't.

Sorry,RWW102 I've been trying to reach you for a week now, but the mail just
keep coming back, so I try it this way.

By the way... if you are using an Amiga 1000, you will have to change the
joysticks' pin 8 connection to something else (it needs to be grounded; 24 is a
ground on 500/2000 and is nothing on A1000). I used pin 22... I wonder why the
manufacturer didn't just use a pin which was common ground (no pun intended) to
the 1000 and 500/2000 in the first place (like 22)... all the others are the
same and it would have made said cable compatible all around...
