I have a 3000T that would sometimes act like the left mouse button in port 1 was held down after using the lowlevel.library. The 3000T has exhibited no other capacitor like problems and the 3000/3000T, in my experience, seem to have less trouble with bad capacitors as some later models. I switched to the new lowlevel.library by Guido Mersmann and all the problems went away.

I have heard of a bug in the C= lowlevel.library with detecting device type. Maybe this is a problem on some Amigas? Maybe someone knows more details of this bug?

All three buttons of the second port are checked, and the colors reg, green, blue will be displayed on the screen, while the double-buffered main program constantly clears the bitmap and draws a line.
You can leave the test with the left mouse button (first port).
Does that work or fail for anybody?

I tested with a CD32 pad which displays a red stripe on the screen with the red button and a green stripe with the blue button. No other CD32 button does anything which is correct behavior as far as I know. Your test would be less confusing if the blue button displayed blue
.
I tested with an unmodified 3 button Sega Genesis controller. The B button displays a red stripe and the C button a green stripe. I have not done the modification that allows the A button to work. The only games I know of that use the A button are Hired Guns and ADoom. I would probably do the mod if there was more games that used it.
