  Sure. You can easily adapt IBM analog joysticks to the Amiga. All you
need is a DB-9 female,a DB-15 female, two .22uf tantalum caps, and 7
pieces of wire.  And last and most importantly, you'll need some software
to use it with.  As far as I now, Falcon doesn't support analog joysticks,
old versions of Jet and Flight Simulator II *do* support analog joysticks,
Air Warrior (Genie) does, SpaceSpuds (X-Specs) does.  For now, that's
it (that I know of, hopefully there are others).
  Perhaps if you write to Spectrum Holobyte, they'll add support, as
it's extremely easy to do.
