I know of one pin specifically: the TxD of the MIDI i/f built in the
joystick-port. Furhter, all these "kinds of fuzzy-wuzzies" are joysticks,
more or less, AFAIK: joypad, steering wheel, flightsim-control...

I don't think so. If the emulator just emulates the MSX joystick ports
on the PC joystick port for 100%, connecting MSX-joythingies and even mice
should be no problemo...

Hm, didn't the PC com ports use 12V somewhere? A sure way to blow your Arcade
funpole, if you plug it directly into the COM...
