   Thanks Mark O for the hi res joystick schematic,
   I can follow most of it and think I can eventually replicate it, but I
   cannot follow what is being shown on the bottom part of the schematic,
   in particular:
   <http://aaronwolfe.com/robert.gault/Coco/FAQs/HiJoystick/Joystick2.gif>
   A) what are the 9 Dots at the bottom of the schematic for? Is that
   supposed to be representing a switch? Why is it even there, Really
   stumping me...
   B) Also what are the Blue "#1" and Blue "#2", off the Lm3900m supposed
   to be connected too? The cassette or joystick port or nothing or both?
   I still learning schematics, i get capacitors, resistors, etc, but the
   above two things don't make sense to me.
   Thanks in advance
   Mark
