Has anybody had any experience with connecting an analogue joystick to the
Amiga?  As far as I know, none of the commercial games currently support
these things, but nevertheless, I'd like one to use with my own programs.

I have the following questions...

  Is it possible to connect one through one of the game ports (ie. are there
  pins enough in a game port?) or is it necessary to use the parallel port?

  Does anybody have information on which pins carry what information on an
  ordinary analogue joystick? (Please mail or post!)

Thanks in advance,

  Mads Haahr
