Subject: Joysticks

As far as I know, the older pc soundcards had a joystick/midi/user port that
is very similar to the BBC micro analog port. The connector is the same D
connector, but the pins are wired differently. Would just need to build an
adapter to re-route the pins, and should work ok as far as the hardware is
concerned. Should work as a standard pc analog joystick, which should be
recognised in the emulator.

Regards,
Paul.
