By the way... if you are using an Amiga 1000, you will have to change the
joysticks' pin 8 connection to something else (it needs to be grounded; 24 is a
ground on 500/2000 and is nothing on A1000). I used pin 22... I wonder why the
manufacturer didn't just use a pin which was common ground (no pun intended) to
the 1000 and 500/2000 in the first place (like 22)... all the others are the
same and it would have made said cable compatible all around...
