	I just wanted to comment that I've had problems with inexpensive
multi IO cards where I couldn't use the second joystick port.  In
particular, the buttons were stuck in either the ON or OFF state.  It
wouldn't surprise me if the cheap boards are never tested or they didn't
bother to test the second joystick since most people never use it anyway.
