     If you'd like to try calibrating your joystick, there's a program for this
on TnilUtil.dsk on Ground at ...

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/useful.stuff/Disks/ .

     Boot TnilUtil.dsk and run the Joystick checker. It supplies a continuous
X, Y readout and shows when a button is pressed. Adjust your stick for a center
value of about 128 on X and Y.
