9 PIN D-SUB MALE at the computer.

9 PIN D-SUB FEMALE at the joystick cable.

Pin	Name	Description
1	/FORWARD	Forward
2	/BACK	Backward
3	/LEFT	Left
4	/RIGHT	Right
5	+5V	+5 VDC (50mA max)
6	/TRG1	Trigger A / Output 1
7	/TRG2	Trigger B / Output 2
8	OUTPUT	Output 3
9	GND	Signal Ground

Note: Direction is Computer relative Joystick.

Warning: Pin 5 is +5V on MSX and Mouse Button 2 on Amiga. Since Amiga mousebutton is active low, connecting an Amiga mouse to a MSX and pressing mousebutton 2 will shortcut the supply voltage.
