Someone asked if anyone had wired up the Vectrix console unit for the Amiga. Since I happen to have some schematics for both the vectrix and the Amiga I figured I would check it out. Basically they are damn close. Here is the numbers : Vectrix Amiga Pin 1 Button 0 Pin 1 Forward Pin 2 Button 1 Pin 2 Back Pin 3 Button 2 Pin 3 Left Pin 4 Button 3 Pin 4 Right Pin 5 Pot X Pin 5 Pot X Pin 6 Pot Y *** Pin 9 Pot Y Pin 7 +5V Pin 7 +5 V Pin 8 Gnd Pin 8 Gnd Pin 9 -5V ??? probably pin 8 Note the vectrix uses 10K pots in the controller and expects -5 on the other side of them. So you only get a range of 0-2.5 volts from the XY controller, you can increase this by turning the internal adjustment pots to minimum resistance. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
