I'm Jason, the admin and creator of Joystick Rehab.  For me, this project has come out of my desire to use the late-model Gravis joysticks (pre-Kensington buyout) with Star Citizen.  Although 10 years old, no joystick manufacture in my opinion has made a Joystick which has the feel of the Gravis.  In fact, I played the game Wing Commander: Prophecy (and a few others) with a Gravis Blackhawk.  I've tried others like the MS Sidewinder and Saitek models, but I just am not happy with any of them.  Because of this, I am investigating ways to modernize the old Gravis Blackhawk and it's big brother, the Gravis Firebird 2.  For the Blackhawk (non-digital) it will probably be as simple as finding the right Gameport to USB adapter for simple 4 button, 3 axis play.  But the Firebird 2 is 4 Axis, 13 button plus POV hat.  If only Firebird 2 never had the POV Hat... but it does.  Maybe I can produce something of my own.  Gravis Joysticks are very inexpensive on Ebay so parts are not an issue.  What -is- an issue is time spent... but then again, I'm retired.  I have plenty of time. :D

Hi, I found your site in my search for a way to bring my old Gravis Firebird 2 back to life.
Unfortunately the article regarding this stick seems to be unavailable, because the link brings me to this (error) site:


Would you be so kind to provide that article to me? I'd really like to try and make it work with Win10 x64, if possible

Best regards

Hello Jason,
I'm new to this Google Group, and found it out of my own research to get my vintage Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital working with Win 10/USB.  The purpose of my post is to request you update one of your webpages (see image below).

I did order this adapter ($40 CDN), and can say with confidence that the Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital is NOT compatible with the "Super Joy Box 7".  I contacted Mayflash Tech Support, and much to my surprise I received a reply this morning.  They also confirm that their device is not compatible with my joystick.  I hope my note gets to you and you are able to update the webpage accordingly.  With thanks,
Mike
