Like usually excellent and professional work!
Since we discussed some idea, Duke, can can please in brief explain how they work?
Are they compatible to digital joysticks or can they provide proportional data?
Thanks.
As for initial firmware release I think I will just provide plain digital joystick conversion.
However I already have my custom 5 bit proportional data mode working fine for USB mouses, but of course no real use for special modes yet.
The beauty is that it can be easily upgraded, if one has a USB stick laying around (just plug it into the USB port of the adapter and powercycle it).
So I can implement whatever I want, if there is a demand for it.
With other firmwares I will try to support ZX, C64, Amiga and Atari ST too (although the last 3 require different "jumper" setting via smd resistors). As I am in lack of proper mouses for the 16 bits and joysticks for the others.
They definitely win the price for the smallest adapter in CPC world ever.
Thanks for noticing, I did my best to make it as small as possible, I could probably still squeeze another couple of mm off, maybe for another revision.
