+Games adapter driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "joy0 at isa? port 0x201"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver provides access to the games adapter. The lower bit in the
+minor device number selects the joystick: 0 is the first joystick and
+1 is the second.
+.Pp
+The game control adapter allows up to two joysticks to be attached to
+the system. The adapter plus the driver convert the present resistive
+value to a relative joystick position. On receipt of an output signal,
+four timing circuits are started. By determining the time required for
+the circuit to time-out (a function of the resistance), the paddle
+position can be determined. The adapter could be used as a general
+purpose I/O card with four analog (resistive) inputs plus four digital
+input points.
+.Pp
+Applications may call ioctl() on a game adapter driver file descriptor
+to set and get the offsets of the two potentiometers and the maximum
+time-out value for the circuit. The
+ioctl() commands are listed in
+.Pa Aq machine/joystick.h
+and currently are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width JOY_GET_X_OFFSET -compact
+.It JOY_SETTIMEOUT
+Sets the maximum time-out for the adapter.
+.It JOY_GETTIMEOUT
+Returns the current maximum time-out.
+.It JOY_SET_X_OFFSET
+Sets an offset on X value.
+.It JOY_GET_X_OFFSET
+Returns the current X offset.
+.It JOY_SET_Y_OFFSET
+Sets an offset on Y value.
+.It JOY_GET_Y_OFFSET
+Returns the current Y offset.
+.El
+.Pp
+All this commands take an integer parameter.
+.Pp
+Read() on the file descriptor returns a
+.Fa joystick
+structure:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct joystick {
+ int x;
+ int y;
+ int b1;
+ int b2;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The fields have the following functions:
+.Bl -tag -width b1
+.It Fa x
+The current X coordinate of the joystick (or position of paddle 1)
+.It Fa y
+The current Y coordinate of the joystick (or position of paddle 2)
+.It Fa b1
+The current state of button 1
+.It Fa b2
+The current state of button 2
+.El
+.Pp
+The b1 and b2 fields in struct joystick are set to 1 if the
+corresponding button is down, 0 otherwise.
+.Pp
+The x and y coordinates are supposed to be between 0 and 255 for a
+good joystick and a good adapter. Unfortunately, because of the
+hardware hack that is used to measure the position (by measuring the
+time needed to discharge an RC circuit made from the joystick's
+potentiometer and a capacitor on the adapter), calibration
+is needed to determine exactly what values are returned for a specific
+joystick/adapter combination. Incorrect hardware can yield negative or
+> 255 values.
+.Pp
+A typical calibration procedure uses the values returned at lower
+left, center and upper right positions of the joystick to compute the
+relative position.
+.Pp
+This calibration is not part of the driver.
