I want to add Atari Joysticks to my IIGS. I want to do it using the method that uses push button and annunciator signal lines ie "Atari Joyport" option on some Apple II games. Sirius Joyport does it this way. I don't want to use the method that emulates the potentiometer signals ie the way the Wico adapters work. Does anyone have the schematics for the Sirius Joyport or description of how it uses the annunciator lines to effectively read the five digital joystick signals? Best info I can find is in www.atarimagazines.com/cva/v1n1/joysticks.php. It gives a description but I am after more detail. Thanks.Alex.
I bought a couple from eBay awhile ago, but have not tried them as yet. They plug into the game port, and I'm afraid that they won't work with IIgs specific games, but should with all of the earlier Apple II games. I had a circuit developed that would render a 'Zero' up and left, and '255' right and down, and was going to build and possibly produce some, but then I found these others, and also got busy with other projects. You know how it is. ;-)
