The minipac uses standard headers. Get an IDE cable and.... er...forgot what the small one is.

We'll talk about such things after people are using these and can actually see how well things work.
Then we'll talk about what can and can't be done with them. ;)

I'd order one, maybe 2 if my frontend could auto set the mode by calling a command line utility, so I didn't have to explain to my friends and family how to change the joystick.

I know nothing about them, and my search didn't yield any information. Is it the same as any other joystick? Someone said something about soldering.

The one pictured is simple.
You can use the bottom row of holes on the connector of an old floppy drive cable.
The floppy connector is the same size as the edge of the board on the 49-way, so it even looks nice when attached.
I have a nice close-up photo of the wires on mine. I'll post it and show which wires to cut/use when I find some time.

Thanks Flinkly, that was the image I was going off of, and I was wondering if there was anything necessary beyond crimping. I appreciate the help.
