- I need the schems or whatever (wiring chart) to make a connector from
- an Apple joystick to an IBM port (9 pin to 15 pin). I know they are
- out there, I need it ASAP! I even posted one at one point...but all
- I have on it is gone...now that I got a 15-pin part (BTW, does
- anyone know a source for these?? Radio Shack dont have em!).
-
- EMAIL is preferred.....thanks!!
-
- Also, has anyone ever wired a digital Atari-type stick to an IBM?? I made
- a connector for my Amiga (digital stick) that uses my IBM stick in
- flight games that support the option. But can it go vice-versa??? I
- think it can as the newish gamepads for IBM (Gravis, Suncom) claim
- to be just 8-way digital controllers.....so....anyone know??????? I
- REALLY want to know this one. Amiga games are now supporting 2-button
- Genesis-style sticks (finally)...and if I could use it on my IBM
- WITHOUT special software..it'd be great! Also, is the Gravis GamePad
- really digital?? Will it work with everything or does it need
- sotware support (I've noticed the option in Wolf 3D)??
-
- Thanx alot!!!
