I picked up an Apple Joystick //e from eBay, no manual. Right now it's
spring-loaded (auto centering), which is fine for games. I have two
questions, probably related:
1) On the underside, there are two thumbwheels and four plastic screw
adjusters. What do they do?
2) Is there a mode for using the joystick in a kind of floating mode
i.e. not auto centering? (Suitable for drawing graphics)
Here's the underside layout:

([]) ([]) <-- Y2/Y1 screw adjusters

X2> ([]) <-- X2 screw adjuster
As per this diagram, all 4 screws are currently aligned with a
north/south groove. When I tried messing around with these controls it
just seemed to bugger up the joystick's movement.
