*Joystick.... I'd like some information on
this one. It is a tan box
about 5 inches by 3 inches. The joystick itself is just 2 inches or so
tall. Has trim settings also. Two buttons, which look like classic
self-destruct buttons or something. Is was made by TG Products of Plano,
TX. To connect it to a computer, it has a long blue ribbon cable (inch
wide?) with 15 pins on the end. The pins are just out there all by
themselves! Is this for an Apple computer?
This is indeed for the Apple. It connects to a socket inside the case in
the upper-righthand area of the motherboard (with the keyboard facing
you). It is probably the highest (or one of the highest) quailty
joysticks ever to be made for the Apple. A true classic.
These could also be used on the Sanyo MBC-55x series PC "compatible" as it also
used the Apple socket type joystick.
