I have gotten CD32 pads to work on my Amiga.
The red button can be used a a joystick fire
button, and one other can *sometimes* be
used for games that detect 2 joystick fire
buttons.

It was only a theory that they might work
on other computers.

Lke I said in my original mail, some of the 
wires *may* need swapping to get it to
fully work.
