Yeah yeah. Serial port, game port, ADB, PS/2, AT, USB, Firewire, Joy1,
Joy2, PCMIACMAEMA. They're all the same the me. Whichever port that my
still-fairly-new Windows-using laptop would house the paddle do-hickey as
described in Stella instructions. Hey man, I just program Java, SQL,
dhtml, vbscript, and some other sorry excuses for programming languages. I
don't touch actual hardware much.
And I know as soon as I took up assembler for x86, they'd leave the x86
architecture behind...
