There is a program on aminet.net that tests a joystick plugged into port 2.

To get this program onto your Amiga you can copy it over using a PC formatted floppy disk in DD 720KB size. And to get the A1200 to read a PC disk you need to use something called CrossDOS which is built into Workbench 3 and above. Make a copy of your workbench disk, then copy the PC0: icon from the libs disk into the workbench disks Dev directory. Reboot and it will then be able to read PC disks.

There is also another program on there:

But it is in German so you would need to translate the docs using something like Babelfish.com or Google Translator.

Hi thanks Harrison I will give it a go, if it turns out that the port is f***ed then I take it I will need another motherboard?

Not always. If you can't get it to work, post here exactly what you discovered and I will contact some friends with a lot of Amiga hardware knowledge to see if they can work it out or know how to repair it. Some of them might even offer to repair it for you.
