- Documentation for JOYREAD.ASM/COM
-
- JOYREAD was written to allow me to adjust the potentiometers on my
- joystick (the planes in Flight Simulator kept banking left on me !). It
- continously reads and displays the values of the potentiometers which
- sense the stick position and the status of the buttons. The program was
- originally written for an XT clone using a software loop which directly
- accessed the game adaptor port, however when I upgraded to an AT clone
- with a higher clock speed this method was no longer adequate.
-
- Fortunately, the new BIOS for AT machines contains a function which
- solved the problem. The current version of JOYREAD allows one to select
- either method to read the potentiometer values, pressing `m' toggles
- between them.
