Well, I ran that Joy Stick test program that Dave Haynie posted a few
days back (thanks Dave!) and got some interesting results:
When there's a Digital joystick in Port 0, or NOTHING in Port 0, I get
a CONTINUOUS Left signal.
When the Mouse is plugged into Port 0, the Left signal appears very
intermittantly (as I would expect) when the Mouse is moved. Those of you who
don't recognize this might want to try using a Mouse on something that expects
a Digital joystick...
In a nutshell, something is definitely bad in my Port 0, but Port 1 is
OK, and the computer is still functional...
So my question is: What is the MOUSE doing that could make that
otherwise continuous Left signal disappear? And is this information sufficient
to figure out exactly what is fried, or am I really going to have to go to a
dealer to get a definitive diagnosis?
Unfortunately, someone is borrowing my hardware manual, so I have to ask
for ALL of this info. :-(
Any help is greatly appreciated!
