What It Does
The Commander 3 Joystick Interface is a 10cm x 7cm x 2cm creme coloured interface which plugs into the back of the unexpanded Acorn Electron computer. It needs a compatible 'switched-type' joystick and also the tape-based program Joystick Programming Utility. The interface connects to both Electron and joystick and the cassette must then be loaded before the game you wish to play with a joystick. This procedure allows about 50% of games that originally do not have joystick-compatibility to be used with one.

| * | &FCC0 standard Joystick memory position |
