More info on RS-232

More info on Joystick port

I'm not sure why you quoted me... We agree with each other...

Actually, you don't.

The links there point to DB15 connections, which are the standard gameport layout. If they were to function as joysticks, there would be NO serial data.

That said, I distinctly remember our joysticks this year having male pins, not the female pins of that adapter. I don't think they would work.

It looks like you are correct. These Look like they are to hook a Analog joystick (DB-15) into a USB port (USB-A) not a USB joystick into an analog joystick port.

Good catch. Guess I'll have to keep looking
