4-2 Onboard Joystick Port
A joystick, in computer graphics, is a lever with at least two degrees
of freedom used as an input device. The joystick is normally used as
a locator in at least a 2-D plane.
The joystick device is most widely used in video games applications.
Attach the joystick cable to the 15-pin JOYSTICK port at the rear
panel of your mainboard.
4-3 Onboard Audio
This mainboard features three built-in audio-stereo ports (labeled
line-in, line-out, and mic jack) convenient to directly plug-in all your
external audio devices. Your SY-5STM mainboard is making use of
the ALS120 sound chipset technology and applications programs.
Note: Please refer to Chapter 5- ALS120 Audio Driver Installation
for a detailed procedure on how to install the audio driver depending
on the particular environment (DOS, Win NT 3.5/4.0, Win 95, Win
3.1) installed on your system.
