Pin No. Signal Name Description
1 Up
2 Down
3 Left
4 Right
5 Fire 3 undocumented, used by the AMX Mouse for example
6 Fire 2
7 Fire 1 Other systems pull +5V from here for auto-fire circuits!
8 GND "Common"
9 GND2 "Common 2" for 2nd joystick

In this case, the numbering from the manual matches that of standard plugs. For a wiring diagram of an Y-cable with which you can use two joysticks on your Amstrad/Schneider CPC, see Joystick Y-cables.
