Re: Joystick Pin-Out-- rapid-fire, etc. features on PC sticks

Thanks for all the help.

At this point, my investigation shows that the Wingman Extreme has no
extraneous circuitry.

I will let you know the rest of the results once I have the adapter you
described completed.

Thanks again,

Chuck :-)
