I'M SEEKING TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION ON DATA I/O SPECS FOR THE AMIGA 1200 AN AND 4000 SERIES JOYSTICK PORTS. I'M PLANNING TO WRITE A SECONDARY SERIAL DR PORT DRIVER WHICH WILL USE THE 2ND JOYSTICK PORT DATA LINES FOR SERIAL DATA XFER. ANY DOCS OR MANUALS WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANKS.

The Rom Kernal Manuals have docs on the joystick ports. The example code from the RKMs is a good place to start. andy

Sounds interesting, better you than me, the hardware reference manual, RKM libraries,devices & includes/autodocs will all be useful with joystick programming. I am not sure that you will get a good transfer rate with the joystick ports (or if it is possible) but it is a different idea (I thought of using the parallel port as a serial port, but in the end it didn't seem worthwhile (I use my parallel port anyway)).
