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. > As "anders@localhost.localdomain (Anders Gidenstam)" > pointed out, the line > > Joystick_address : system.address := > system'to_address(16#0201#); > > probably locates the code in your own address space and > *not* into the kernel address space. Thanks for the tips (all 3 of you), I have located a joystick driver and will try from there... /Bj�rn
