[BYTE Magazine] - here Mr. Lineeater, oh please...

   This is the same Steve Ciarcia who, in the August 88 issue of Bytewad
magazine, in the "ASK BYTE" column on page 44 said...

   "The Amiga 500's joystick port is for input only, and there is no way
- short of re-designing, cutting, soldering, and praying - that you can
change this. - Steve"

   You would think that a hardware hacker of this caliber would check this
out before making such a definitive (and totally wrong) statement, or 
maybe he never heard of I/O ports.

   My response citing the appropriate Rom Kernal Manual and Hardware 
Reference Manual pages has never been published.

   It is symbolic that my BYTE subscription expired with the IBM Special 
Edition.
