- Hi,
- I went just bought a XT compat joystick in a second hand store...for $4.
- Now (of all things) I find my AT 386/40 doesn't wanna talk to my joystick.
- So I was wondering if:
- a) somebody could point me to some resource (mags,books,etc) that would
- explain the differences..how these are solved would be helpful.
- b) somebody could point out these differences themselves and point out
- the modifications I can make to that crummy joystick.
- c)As an out line could someone explain the AT joystick port signals and
- the XT's?
-
- Thats about it.I'm stuck with an extra peripheral that will soon become just
- a fancy paper weight...so any help is welcome.Please reply by e-mail.
- Thanks in advance.
