+.Sh NAME
+.Nm joy
+.Nd games adapter
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "joy0 at isa? port 0x201"
+.Cd "joy* at isapnp?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver provides access to the games adapter.
+The lower bit in the minor device number selects the joystick: 0 is the first
+joystick and 1 is the second.
+.Pp
+The game control adapter allows up to two joysticks to be attached to
+the system.
+The adapter plus the driver convert the present resistive value to a relative
+joystick position.
+On receipt of an output signal, four timing circuits are started.
+By determining the time required for the circuit to time-out (a function of
+the resistance), the paddle position can be determined.
+The adapter could be used as a general purpose I/O card with four
+analog (resistive) inputs plus four digital input points.
+.Pp
+Applications may call
+.Fn ioctl
+on a game adapter driver file descriptor
+to set and get the offsets of the two potentiometers and the maximum
+time-out value for the circuit.
+The
+.Fn ioctl
+commands are listed in
+.In machine/joystick.h
+and currently are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width JOY_GET_X_OFFSET -offset indent -compact
+.It JOY_SETTIMEOUT
+Sets the maximum time-out for the adapter.
+.It JOY_GETTIMEOUT
+Returns the current maximum time-out.
+.It JOY_SET_X_OFFSET
+Sets an offset on X value.
+.It JOY_GET_X_OFFSET
+Returns the current X offset.
+.It JOY_SET_Y_OFFSET
+Sets an offset on Y value.
+.It JOY_GET_Y_OFFSET
+Returns the current Y offset.
+.El
+.Pp
+All of these commands take an integer parameter.
+.Pp
+Read() on the file descriptor returns a
+.Fa joystick
+structure:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct joystick {
+ int x;
+ int y;
+ int b1;
+ int b2;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The fields have the following functions:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent -compact
+.It Fa x
+Joystick's current X coordinate (or position of paddle 1).
+.It Fa y
+Joystick's current Y coordinate (or position of paddle 2).
+.It Fa b1
+Current state of button 1.
+.It Fa b2
+Current state of button 2.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa b1
+and
+.Fa b2
+fields in struct joystick are set to 1 if the corresponding button is down,
+or 0 otherwise.
+.Pp
+The X and Y coordinates are supposed to be between 0 and 255 for a
+good joystick and a good adapter.
+Unfortunately, because of the hardware hack that is used to measure the
+position (by measuring the time needed to discharge an RC circuit made from
+the joystick's potentiometer and a capacitor on the adapter), calibration
+is needed to determine exactly what values are returned for a specific
+joystick/adapter combination.
+Incorrect hardware can yield negative or > 255 values.
+.Pp
+A typical calibration procedure uses the values returned at lower-left,
+center, and upper-right positions of the joystick to compute the relative
+position.
+.Pp
+This calibration is not part of the driver.
