The pin out for each port is listed in the OI reference guide. I modified our CH joysticks last year for external buttons, and will probably modify the newer sticks this year (you'd be surprised how stable these new joysticks become once you remove that huge hand grip). ArtDutra04 already mentioned Happ Controls, you can definately build your own joysticks with some of these very nice arcade style sticks.
Hmmm, maybe we'll do that this year!
