Little Red Dongle ?

willbloke · 23 May 2014, 18:04

Ok , I've been digging in boxes and found a 9way D-Sub Dongle.
It's red moulded plastic , presumably to plug into Joystick port , but I can't for the life of me think what it was for ?
No visible markings about an inch long.

I assume it's for Amiga as it was with other Amiga stuff , not just general computer crap I seem to accumulate !

Any ideas ?

Scala came with joystick port dongles, also one version in red.
a pciture of those dongles was posted too ( mjukvara3.JPG ) .

If you mean that the dongle is the same as pictured here

Nope , not like that , much slimmer , barely bigger than the actual 9 way , and moulded plastic , the ones in the pic above look like heatshrink covered ?

EDIT to include pic.

Looks like we have a winner !

Thanks Supamax , don't ever remember that software though , but I did collect loads of Amiga stuff people threw out when they switched to other platforms .

Mystery solved !
