What you can do is take the USB joysticks, and rewire them yourselves so they output pure analog (which isn't ver difficult). You just need to wire up a connector for the OI, then the other end hooks up the the pots and switches on the joy stick.
RS-232 is 9- or 25-pin [DB-9 or DB-25]. These are 15-pin [DB-15] analog connectors.
