Can't you use Spectrum joysticks too??
Spectrum and a few others I believe. A lot of the systems in the 80's
seemed to use the same Joystick.
Or how about Sega Megadrive or Amiga CD32
pads?? I know it would depend on which pins
were used for button and direction detection
but they might work...
I hate using joysticks these days.

Do the Amiga CD32 pads work? I simply *ASSUMED* they would be wired
differently, I didn't bother to try to plug it in. There was actually one
sitting in the box with the cables and drives (as well as part of the parts
for hooking up my Amiga 500. I have Sega Megadrive (Genesis)
controllers at home as well. I'd never thought about them either (just
Googled to see what the Megadrive was and check if it would work).
Uh, Oh... Looks like you don't want to use an unmodified Sega controller,
as you can burn out your CIA Chip.
