	I also have been wondering about the possible uses of a game
port.  I need an explanation of the pin outs and the expected range of
impedence.
	The pin outs as supplied in my 1/2 page of documenation are:
	   DB15S PIN
+5V		1
Button 4	2
Position 0	3
ground		4    5 is not listed?!
position 1	6
button 5	7
+5V		8
+5v		9
button 6	10
position 2	11
ground		12
position 3	13
button 7	14
+5vdc		15


	Thanks for any info.
