Hey what is it called the thing u plug a joystick into?? Also is it possible to buy one?

[Rand Dusing]

Midi port or game port? Or with the new ones USB. Mt Logitech Extreme 3d Pro is USB.

[John Prophet]

if its not usb...its called a "game port" or "9 pin serial port"..(or is it 15 pins?)

stick with "game port", lol

[MitaDC]

ok well I thought it was a Midi port. Can u buy them for PCI?

[John Prophet]

they used to come on lots of sound cards..maybe they still do on some....and yes, they are also used for midi

[Rand Dusing]

My SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum came with one and even my mobo came with one. If your motherboard can allow you to hook up a pci midi port you could probaly buy one for cheap. I have a couple in my box of computer parts.

John, it is 15 pins. I have two and one of them either came with my mobo or sound card. It is yello with 15 pins and below it is a picture of a musical note and joystick.

Happy New Year. If you have a sound chip on board, you may have a header on your mb that is not hooked up. Get the book on your mb if you can. Always get all info you can. It will be gone soon. Hi Out. It's Santa time again

Can I just buy a cheap sound card so that I can get one...I really need one for a customer
