There isn't a lot available as far as I know. The IBM PC or XT Technical
Reference shows the BIOS code for handling the game controller. This makes
a good starting point - it's quite short.

The CH Gamecard III Automatic has an extra bit to program - the speed setting.
I think this is on port 202 - 200 and 201 are the normal ones I believe.
