Yes it's the whole program, running on a x86 platform, "untouched". I'm just trying 
to make contact to it for future use. I realized that the joystick port can be
 used as a primitive A/D converter to hook up strange things to the computer, 
like thermometers, or sensors in general. I only need a way to write out 
something to adevice, which the parallel port migth be able to.

Thanks for the tips (all 3 of you), I have located a joystick driver and will try from there...
