another 3 yrs passed, how the converter for LT Interceptor?LOL

I am worrying about that the "gameport_trigger"(hand shaking process) is the prerequisition for the "gameport_read", it will make the joystick give no response to any reading action from outside.

don't you think it is a barrier for this project?

The standard Linux kernel already includes a rather good implementation of the ADI protocol. (Vojtech Pavlik wrote the code), I don't seem to be able to find that spec around here anymore (maybe if I dig a bit more), but I would suggest you start out with Vojtech's code.

I can wait since I keep looking for this device for 3 years ,, finially, got the right place to wait.

I love it, I wonder if Grendel can adjust the 3D-pro into a convertor for it?

anyone agree?
