Game Port Snooping

Hi all-

I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a little problem I'm
having. Currently I am working on a electric go-cart that I would like
to replace the steering column with a servo, a joystick, and some
connecting hardware and software. Specifically what I'm looking for is
the input to the joystick from the game port of a computer and the
output from that joystick back. I was hoping to discover this
information by using a port snooper to watch and log the input and
output of the game port (Port 201 I think), and then use my Windows 98
machines drivers to interact with the stick. As such, I don't want to
overright the drivers using something like inportb. If anyone has any
help at all, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Levi
