  According to my Tandy 1000SX Technical reference manual, the joystick
port uses 200-207h. This is the same range given in the manual for the IO
card in my Gateway 2000. If Tandy used different ports, other PC
compatible software wouldn't work. I never had joystick problems with the
1000. The problem with Music studio may be something else.
