	When used with the Amstrad plus, the button labelled "I" activates joystick fire 2 (giving 'Z' in BASIC), and the button labelled "II" activates joystick fire 1 (giving 'X' in BASIC), therefore the fire buttons are mapped to the digital joystick 0 fire buttons.		When used with the Amstrad plus, the button labelled "I" activates joystick fire 2 (giving 'Z' in BASIC), and the button labelled "II" activates joystick fire 1 (giving 'X' in BASIC), therefore the fire buttons are mapped to the digital joystick 0 fire buttons.

	When the sliders are in the middle, the values returned from both axes change rapidly between &1c and &1b, but this changes depending on the exact position of the slider (the fact remains the values change rapidly).		When the sliders are in the middle, the values returned from both axes change rapidly between &1c and &1b, but this changes depending on the exact position of the slider (the fact remains the values change rapidly).

	The joystick ~~itself~~ is ~~self centering~~.		The joystick has a 15-pin male D-type connector and is suitable for connecting to the old PC gameports and to the 464+ and 6128+ analogue joystick connector.

	~~The~~ joystick ~~has a 15-pin male D-type connector and~~ is ~~suitable for connecting~~ to the ~~old PC gameports~~ and to the ~~464+ and 6128+ analogue~~ joystick ~~connector~~.		On the top, next to the joystick are 2 sliding controls. These can be used to adjust the values read from the joystick. When testing in Windows, moving these sliders allowed me to modify the centre point before calibration. So these are some form of calibration adjusters where calibration in software is not done.

			However, if these are put to the centre positions and correct calibration is done, then the joystick works as expected.
