Hello out there once again, I have been working on a video game which reads the
joystick port via event reporting.  It seems to work just fine, but occasionall
y, mving and holding the joystick causes a series of keyclick noises as if I
was holding down a key, and in fact, Bconin will detect keyclicks at the same
time (repetitive for as long as I hold the joystick in whatever position it
was in when it started making the keyclick noises)
  This does not occur on a friend's 1040ST.  Here comes the big question
(Anyone at Atari listening):  My keyboard was replaced several months back
before I started working on this game, it was originally a C070240-011, and
is now a C070075-011.  Could this somehow have a slight compatiblity problem
with my computer which would only manifest itself at VERY odd times ?
  This problem also occurs when I play the game Falcon.....
