Dear Netters,

[this is from a friend who's not on the USENET. I'll forward any replies to
him, and I'll make a summary of what comes in to the Net -- nfotis]

  I have tried to connect a potentiometer to the game port of my AMIGA.
The problem is, I didn't find the "legal" way to read the pot values.

  I know that you can do this with the gameport device,but when i tried to
modify a source for the joystick ,nothing worked...
  So,I found a way using some hacks in assembly, but the result wasn't very
good (when the pot had the max value,I read something like : 144 144 31 144
144 144 31 31 ....etc. I think that there is an error in timing...).
So if anyone can send to me full source code in
C and/or assembly for this ,it would be a great help... 
(Also wait for some strange applications of this....)

Thanks,
A.Kranidiotis.
