Hi, Well, I see some mistakes in this topic. As I implemented all mouse-like devices in the Atari800 emulator, here's some explaination of what can be directly plugged to Atari joystick ports besides joysticks: - paddles - Atari Touch Tablet (works like paddles and has 2 buttons) - Koala Pad (the only difference from Atari Touch Tablet is reverse left/right orientation - or up/down? can't remember) - Light Pen (usually needs calibration because its sensor is probably worse than Light Gun's) - Light Gun (the signal which is for the "up" direction of joystick is here on if button is *not* pressed, which is opposite to the Light Pen) - Amiga Mouse (since it's digital you need an IRQ to poll it; and without a simple hardware modification you can only read left button) - Atari ST Mouse (like Amiga except that some signal lines are swapped) - Atari Trak Ball (similar to ST mouse, but different) Bye, Piotr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
