Re: [Atari800-users] Paddle support

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

Hi Ralph,

just a related info: I've been working on a new generation of my Dual 
Joy USB adapter
https://joy.sophics.cz/dual-joystick-usb-adapter/
and I plan on adding paddle support this time as well.

Haven't had much time lately but hopefully will get to working it again 
sometime soon.
