Right... found a couple of bits on the net.
Make your own!
Firstly, if you want to make your own adaptor (Stainy?), then see here:
http://www.students.tut.fi/~kosolah/joy ... rt-en.html
Buy a proper one!
Secondly, I can buy one from USA for £27, (pre-built!) with good reviews.
There are only 2 in stock, who wants the last one??
(Delivery takes upto 14 days)
Or I could buy it and flog on eBay for more money!?
(how much could I get?!)
The one's on eBay at moment are not for Amiga/Atari joysticks, they are female plugs rather than male ones...

With the increasing demise of the game port and parallel port, I believe the best solution for the future is a 9pin joystick port to USB.

* exchange rate (1.9 something)
* cheaper shipping method available
* didn't need the optional usb cable
I have picked it up for £19.75 delivered !!! ($37.90 US)

Couldn't you buy a USB to parallel port cable and on top of that the Amiga 4-player-adapter? Would that work with the PPJoy drivers?

Sid, this Stelladaptor is a truly wonderful device!!
I got mine today, and despite a brief panic that the USB socket was the wrong shape (luckily my printer cable fitted) I just played my first game of KO2 with a Zipstick (as nature intended it to be played) in 6 years. Much better than the keyboard, not least having the ability to kick the ball north-west again!
Weirdly, my first goal was a header from outside the 6-yard box (must be the Spanish goalkeeper).
The good news is now I can actually practice for the UKC (and maybe play online). The bad news is I may become addicted again.
Thank you!

No, avoid!
Get the stelladapter or an amiga 4 player adapter if you have a parallel port.
