Pass-Thru Mode
Move the MultiPort‘s Mode Selector Switch towards the two 15-pin
Pass-Thru connectors to put the MultiPort in Pass-Thru Mode. Make
sure the switch is moved all the way (the green LED on the Pass-Thru
wing should light up).
The MultiPort‘s Pass-Thru Mode allows you to use the standard 15-pin
joysticks and controllers you already own. In Pass-Thru Mode, the
MultiPort operates exactly as a PC game adapter Y-cable. If you have a
standard IBM PC-compatible game port, this Mode allows support for:
•
4 independent buttons and 4 axes (e.g., 2 joystick axes plus throttle
and rudder control) on a single controller; or,
•
2 buttons and 2 axes (the joystick ’X‘ and ’Y‘ axes) on each of 2
attached controllers.
If your game port is substandard, and supports only one controller and
two buttons without the MultiPort, Pass-Thru Mode support will be
limited by the capabilities of the game port.
