Is designed to fit in any computer with PCI slots (or Amigas with Zorro slots or a clock port, but thats not really relevant to AtariAge, I guess ). Its main purpose is to allow you to read disk formats that normal PC floppy controllers cannot (such as Amiga, or custom formats), but it also has 2 Amiga joystick ports. Now, these ports are identical to Atari ports, allowing you to easily attach Atari joysticks to your PC. It would be great if the Atari emulators were updated to support the card!

Just had another look at the site and it says analogue controllers such as paddles can be used, so presumably it'll let you use trakballs, and driving controllers too!

 

Cool

Thanks for the pointer--this looks cool, and I hope emulators come to support it!

The infamous JuniesCreations.com was selling a product for PCAE that allowed you to use all Atari controllers on the PC. I ordered and paid for one. Never received it though! It might be a great product.

Well, Individual Computers have a proven record within the C64 and Amiga markets for delivering the goods, so its pretty safe to order one. If you want to buy from the states, I think Software Hut sometimes carry their products, so give them an email and ask if they intend to carry this..
