# Apple II Joystick Adapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This small board lets you plug a 16-pin joystick into the external
|
|
|
|
9-pin joystick port on the Apple IIe. Although the Apple IIe has an
|
|
|
|
internal 16-pin joystick port, I found that the connector on my
|
|
|
|
joystick was too big to fit through any of the holes on the back of
|
|
|
|
the IIe. So, I created this adapter to let me plug it in externally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This adapter could also be useful for the Apple IIc, which does not
|
|
|
|
have a 16-pin joystick port at all, although I have not tested it on a
|
|
|
|
IIc.

## Bill of Materials

|
|
I found it necessary to remove the hex screws from the DE-9 connector,
|
|
|
|
because they prevented it from mating with the connector on the Apple
|
|
|
|
IIe.
