[comp.sys.amiga] Analog joysticks

cs178abu@sdcc8.ucsd.EDU (John Schultz) (03/26/88)

   Just tried to hook up an old apple //e joystick to the Amiga; it
works marginally.  It would appear that the pots are not strong
enough (not enough resistance).  Will the IBM joysticks work any
better, or do I have to replace the pots?  470k pots?  Where to get
them? I am using a Hayes (CH) Mach III Apple joystick.  What is the
correct pinout for the adapter (Amiga => Analog Apple/IBM)?

  Thanks,

    John

Perhaps all the Gurus were out balancing on their Amiga Joyboards when
I asked this the first time, as I got no response to the question:

Is it possible, via some to-be-designed input-munging software, to
more-or-less transparently use an ordinary analog joystick as a programmable
joystick or mouse, in the tradition (though not the same implementation)
of the Gravis Mousestick (TM)?
