  Yeah! This is good. Very good.  Now I can use three buttons
*legally* and *by the book*.
  What about pin 2? As in "button 4", to "support future state of
the art input devices".

  Any commercial analog sticks for the Amiga yet?  Or how about
commercial adapters for IBM sticks?  I made my own and have written
software to support it, but it's hard to have a feature in a program
that forces the user to custom build hardware to use it.  Anyone
interested in an analogjoystick.library?  We started writing one a
while ago, but there was little interest...
