Okay, for a microswitch joystick/mouse, here are the lines that need
to be switched:

      Pin              Meaning on Joystick
       1                Forward
       2                Back
       3                Left
       4                Right

(All other pins should go to BOTH devices)

(The other pins used are Pin 6 [Button 1 for mouse and Joystick], Pin 7
 [+5 Volt], Pin 8 [Ground], Pin 9 [Button 2])

For an analog joystick,

       Pin            Meaning on Joystick
        3                Button 1
        4                Button 2
        5                POT X
        9                POT Y

All other bins should go to both devices.

                     (Taken from the Hardware Reference manual page 8-8)
