[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Game I/O for AT's

kadie@uiucdcsb.cs.uiuc.edu (01/05/88)

Here is another joystick related question.

Today I tried to order a game i/o board for my AT.
I found one advertised in Computer Shopper for $15 (mail order).

So I call, but the rep. warns that the board is for XT's only
and that it won't work in AT's.

Is this right? I thought most any XT board works in an AT?
Does anyone know of a cheap board that works in an AT?

- Thanks,

    I picked up a card for my AT at one of the many computer shows
that come around throughout the year. It is your basic no-name (could
be a Diamond) that has 2 serial ports, a parallel port and a joystick
port. The total cost was $45.00 and that included the extra $15.00 I
spend for the second serial port. Its been running fine and works with
all programs Ive tried that uses the joystick.
