are connected to...

2). Does anyone have any schematics or technical information regarding the OI or RC units?
I am wondering if each port is set up as a PC joy stick port which will support two joysticks and four buttons.
You might find the information provided in The Blue Alliance's episode on custom controls of use. In the PDF that goes with the episode, you can find the pinouts for all four OI ports, as well as some images showing you how to wire things up to them.
