Sam460ex serial port and joysticks?

Hi

Since the serial port on the Sam460ex is male DB9, can one connect amiga joysticks to it? and does amigainput recognise them and allow their use?

Alternatively, is there a USB to Amiga joystick adapter that's recommended?

NO Amiga/Atari standard what so ever!

Yes there is a lot of different adapters DB9-USB adapters!

Edit: Sorry for the short answear, had a pizza in the oven almost burning.. ;)

can you recommend one? hard to tell which one is appropriate amongst the many ebay listings

No. Amiga joysticks are designed to go in an amiga mouse port which is not a serial port in anyway shape or form. Remeber that Amiga serial ports were 25(?)pin.

For amiga to usb adapters I found this with google, never used no idea if ti will work with amigaos...

thanks yes i thought so but wanted to check they hadn't done that on purpose ( in fact not sure why they bothered with a serial port at all except for debugging )

Well I don't even have an Amiga joystick any more but I have so many spare USB headers on this thing I thought it might be nice to put an Amiga joystick port on it to make it more authentically an Amiga!

Exactly for that.

If you want anything else than DB9 joysticks -

I can recommend this - http://retroflag.com/Classic-USB-Controller-J.html

As an old SNES-Nerd I REALLY can't feel any difference to the original joypad, if you want an analog stick joyapsd I would go for Logitech, got an old Logitech Rumblepad 2 over here, works great with AOS4.1.
