Re: versatile interface

My letter telling of an experiment using the game port to monitor 
external parameters was taken from an article I wrote for an April issue 
of my user group newsletter, and was obviously intended as humor.

Although the game port can be used to monitor some analog and digital 
inputs, the setup I described will not work for the purpose I described.

I had expected a flood of protests, pointing out the serious flaws and 
the errors of my logic. This might have led to an informative interchange of 
ideas.

In other April issues of my newsletter, I had reported on several new 
devices useful to computing. For example, the BLACK HOLE DIODE (BHD), 
which has only one lead, an input but no output. This would be useful as 
a bit-bucket for computers which tend to drop bits now and then.

Efforts to develope the FLAME EMITTING DIODE (FED) have fizzled out 
because the device has too short a life span.

Remember the Generic Word Processor ? Text insertion function is at the 
pointed end, while the delete function is at the blunt end.

Well, why not have some fun with it ?????
