Title: BBC / Electron Joystick adapters.
Post by: Bryce on 20:18, 27 September 15
Hi all,
        not sure how many BBC / Electron users we have here, but just in case... I built a batch of these adapters that allow you to connect two Atari type joysticks to a BBC or Electron instead of those bulky analogue ones. If anyones interested in one let me know.

Bryce.

You got a price on that? I think some of my Twitter followers might be interested.

Hi Bryce, would also be interested.

I see you posted on another forum also will let the other post stand and cancel this one.

Cheers

I don't like to directly link to other Forums, but if you go over to Amibay, I have a for sale thread there with all the details.

I don't personally don't see why linking to Amibay is an issue. It's a great site and a brilliant resource for owners of old computers. It also polices the sales process in a way the classified section on here can't. It's far better than Ebay.


And in anycase, we do have a classified section so you can alway put an advert in there with costs etc.

I suppose so. It was just the fact that it also isn't CPC hardware, so it really shouldn't be here at all  ::)

To be fair you are posting in the "other retro" section and there's a whole world of a difference between a valued member of the community producing something of interest (alot of us own and use other 8 bit micros) and people just, for example, intent on promoting their podcast every week without ever actually contributing anything here.......

Be glad I don't do Podcasts, they'd be crap :D

I haven't been posting on Amibay lately as I end up buying too much stuff.  :(

That's the danger! When I joined there first I went on a spending spree, but I manage to post there regularly now WITHOUT buying things! :D
