PC Games Port To Amiga Games Port Adaptor For My WinUAE Projects.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a special adaptor cable for
some of my WinUAE projects on AMINET.
For example the Analogue to Digital Converter project:-
http://main.aminet.net/hard/hack/WinUAE-ADC.lha
It is NOT, repeat NOT, for general
AMIGA Joystick use at all. It is
primarily a conversion cable for the above. Read the 'Legal Stuff' below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 Way ~D~ Type PC PLUG. 9 Way ~D~ Type Amiga PLUG.

Notes:-
-------
Once this cable is made connect the
15 Way ~D~ Type Plug to the PC
analogue Games Port and run up ~Windows XX~ ~Games Controller~ software
from ~Control Panel~.
Just enable the 2 Axis, 2 Button
Joystick mode and then ~calibrate~ the
cable by clicking on OK to all of the requesters that come up.
With CARE connect the A-D Converter
to the 9 Way ~D~ Type Plug and rotate
the test variable resistor and watch the two ~red lights~ flash, this
will show that the board and the computer are talking to one another.
Exit the calibrate software and the
PC is now ready to run the WinUAE
A-D Converter. Once this has been done there is NO need to do it again
on this partciular machine.
This adaptor cable means that the A-D
Converter can have a genuine
AMIGA ~D~ Type SOCKET fitted and be used on a genuine AMIGA also.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a very simple project using
this cable and an ultra simple piece
of home built hardware in the next issue of the mag.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
USB To Analogue Games Port Converter.
-------------------------------------
The A-D Converter for WinUAE works
with a commercial USB to Games Port
adaptor. This adaptor gives a PC with a USB port a fully functional PC
style 15 Way ~D~ Type socket, original, analogue games port.
The USB-Games Port Adaptor Is:-

Rockfire RM-203.
