I hope it isn't too late, but here it comes, the ultimate 4-player adapter!
(This is for Amiga 500/2000)


		PARALLELL-PORT  25-Port

				1 1 2 2
		2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 3 4 5
		| | | | | | | | | | | |
		| | | | | | | | | | | |
		| | | | | | | | | | | |
		1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 6 6 8 8
		a a a a b b b b b a b a

		a = Joystick 3
		b = Joystick 4  9-Ports


I like letters, so feel free to write to NV89-RBI@NADA.KTH.SE, as you try
this marvellous thing.
