	Ok all you Amiga-internals gurus, here's one for you:

	When I plug a DIGITAL joystick into Port 0 (the Mouse Port) for two
player games, the port seems to be sending a continuous Left signal.  As it
were, the player using that joystick ends up flying over to the Left side of
the screen, and can't get back!
	However, when I have my MOUSE plugged into that port (which allegedly
use the same lines as a digital joystick) the Mouse works fine.

	What's wrong?  How can this be?
	And yes, the joystick is GOOD.

	If it helps, this is an Amiga 2000 rev. 4.3 512k CHIP, 512k SLOW (old
Fat Agnus).
	Microbotics 8up! DIP with 2M FAST memory.
	CBM A2232 serial card.
	Pacific Peripherals Overdrive HD controller.

	Early guesswork is leading me to suspect either Paula or Denise.

	Anyway, any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!

	-- Matt
