Marc, I haver replied several people on this NG about the subject of building your own digital joysticks. They are a bit of fiddling around, but well worth it! I have some info on my PC at home (links, circuit diagrams etc.) that will be of help. I will e-mail you the info soon! Good luck in advance. PS anyone else that's interested - drop me a line, and I'll get said info to you as well.
