remember the old zipstik

[Magik]

I was clearing out the garage to find two of possibly the best games controllers ever. The good old Zipstiks used mainly with amigas and ataris i believe.

I would like to get it working on my PC anyone know how?

I assume a db9 male to db15 male should to the job, but does anyone actually know if it converts correctly? or is there anything that would get it working on a serial port?

Do i need to rewire the zipstik? or is there nothing i can do????

ok so if nobody knows about the above then what would be the best gaming joystick for the pc - similar to the zipstik perhaps......for playing.

arrrr the old Zipstik. It was simple, it never broke and it licked arse with any other controllers. Plus I think it was quite cheap when it was out, about £6 I remember paying.

Sensible Soccer was great when u had a zipstik.
