Right, this question has been answered a couple of times here before,
but I know how hard it is to search through this stuff.

Anyway, then answer is... you cant!

The Yaroze libs don't include any functions to write to the controller
ports.  We can't send shock data for the same reason that we can't use a
multi-tap.

Sorry.
