[WT-support] Using the game port

[Mikael Larsmark]

Hello lads!

I got an idea when trying to sleep. As Oliver has written earlier there 
are not enough inputs on the LPT port to use for such things as a 
footswitch etc. What about using the game port? I wrote a little 
software to control Winamp once with the game port to change the volume 
and change the tracks. It's as easy to interface as the LPT port and you 
have four inputs that are logical while you have four inputs that are 
analogue.

Not all computers have Game Ports but not all does have LPT ports 
nowadays either. Most sound cards you buy has got a game port though and 
there are USB-interfaces that could be used as a virtual game port.

Couldn't there be an option to use a game port for input for different 
stuff in Win-Test? Like for example selecting the second radio window 
(like with EZ-Master), to open the Keyboard send dialog as Tonno 
suggested etc.
