The joystick ports each have four analog inputs and four switch inputs simultaneously, plus either another four switches or four LED drive outputs. I'd say that's at least as parallel as a standard parallel printer port. Can you point me to the spot in the default code that mentions the joystick ports as "serial"? I can only find references to the actual RC serial ports.
