These have existed for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody made
them anymore, but the one I remember was the Atari Joyport.

Made the $2 cheap as hell (in more ways than one) joysticks work on IIs.
Remember Miner 2049er? It asks you if you are using an Apple joystick or

Atari Joyport..  WHY? I don't know.. maybe it has to do with tolerances
in the numbers
