I'm moving and my CoCo1 is at the new place already (and I'm not), but I can
assure you that the left joystick used to be 0/1. I don't think it's a code
change either, I'm reasonably sure it's a hardware difference... either due to
carelessness or for the benefit of the board layout. At least it's a relatively
low-impact difference.
