Known-good IBM joystick?
I'm having issues with the VCF supply of Kraft joysticks, and there is no time to fix them before HOPE. Does anyone have a tested and fully-working / known-good IBM (or other non-Kraft) joystick which I could borrow? I need it by Friday in order to test it at the museum this weekend. Dean said he may have one, but in case he doesn't.... My backup plan is to program for keyboard control instead of joystick control, but that's not nearly as much fun.
I should have a couple dual purpose ones (apple/ibm with both connectors) I'll test and bring up on Friday when I drop computer off for you. Tony Sent from my iPhone

PS - I can't test the IBM connector but if the apple connector works that's a start! Then you can try the other half :-) Tony
Hi, I have an IBM joystick, look at the picture and tell me if it works on your systems.
