I have such a joystick in my crap, it is so badly yellowed I didn't want to nauseate anyone with pictures of it. Here's my question, what computer was this for? The pad has a 9 pin male connector on it which suggests more a serial port, but there's no power connector for the thing. I don't think a lowly serial port could supply enough current for running an entire A/D-microcontroller combo in 1984?
There's a simple slide switch under the thing for tablet/joystick mode. If it was meant for joystick ports it would be a 9 pin female connector.
Yes I will take it apart but right now I can't find my long thin driver set.
