- I notice in the radio shack advertisement I just got, Radio Shack is selling
- out their old tandy joysticks (the ones that look *EXACTLY* like older
- Kraft models).
-
- I used to have one of those kraft sticks for my apple II, and its ones of
- the things I miss most since switching over to a 386 several years ago.
-
- Id like to make an adapter for the tandy model (in the picture it is a round
- DIN connector on it.. I believe these were used on the old Color Computer
- models) to a standard PC 15pin joystick port.
-
- 1) Is this possible (I mean, is it is simple as wiring up a
- DIN (not sure on the number of pins at this point) to DB15
- adapter)?
-
- 2) If this is possible, does anyone have the pinouts of the tandy
- stick they could/would mail me?
-
- Thanks..
