I've tried to develop a device (for /dev) that would handle joypads, but
there are several little problems:

1) I don't have a joypad
2) I don't quite have an idea how to design the device in a logical way
   (joypads must be polled, they don't generate any interrupts)
3) I don't think I understand the joypad section of the Atari Falcon
   developer manual. At least, scanning these ports returns different 
   values I would expect after reading the manual...

These have support in the AES, IIRC.
