Apple //e Joystick Adapter
I have an Apple //e somewhere in my storage room, I don't play on the thing much. Part of the reason might be the lack of a joystick, so I've been attempting to remedy that by soldering something together - the hard, and quite possibly the only real classic way, by reading about them in an old book and attempt to actually build the thing (Computer Controller Cookbook).
This adapter allows you to connect up to two Atari-style joysticks up to the Apple //e, cables are routed to the back of the case using an IDC to DB9 cable that is easily put together. As the Atari-style joystick is digital and not analog like the original joysticks designed for the system, they may have some limitations in some games that implicitly rely on the analog aspect - most titles however, work better in my opinion as there is a lot more tactile feedback with something like a micro-switched joystick.
As with all of my projects, all of the documentation is available on my github-repository. This is also where you'll find an updated BOM, build instructions and a complete schematic.
NB! This module was designed for use with the Apple //e specifically, it may or may not fit any of the other models. Let me know if you have any details in that regards.
