I'm having problems pickinp up data coming from the joysticks. The 
documentation I have says position info should end up in the keyboard buffer,
but I can't find it there... I can only read data from the firing switch.
I can work around this by reading directly from the ACIA, but...?

Is there a good DETAILED doc available somewhere on the ST custom chips and
Yamaha music chip ? The developpers package we get here in France is close to
being a bad joke (an expensive one, too).

Sorry if this has been discussed on the net already. I'm just joining the list.
