: : I also can hack arcade pedals, analog arcade joysticks, and Star Wars Yokes (Jude's Example) to the gameport by connecting the center connector of the POT to Pin 1 of a PC joystick cable and the other connector to Pin 3 for X-Axis and Pin 6 for Y-Axis.
: If you wired it up this way, you can use an adapter from Radio Shack to use them as USB. (costs about $15)
Do you have a part number? I couldn't find anything like this at www.theshack.com.
Do you know if the adapter has any circuitry involved, or does it just route wires to the corresponding terminals?
Do you know if this will allow devices to be hot swappable?
