I liked the Mach 1, had one that lasted for a good three to four years before it was replaced.

I think I've mentioned on here before, I had several Cheetah sticks and they served me well.

I found a Catweasle card here in sweden and it costs 895 SEK but they were out :/
One of those would also be good to connect a amiga drive to the pc :D
Also to put a SID chip in it :D
Yeah - the CW does all sorts of other stuff too, but to be honest I don't *actually* understand a lot of what it does! 2 SID's and the joystick ports were what I found most appealing. Too pricey for me, though... :cry:
The Catweasel Mk-IV is a PCI card which drivers for AmigaOS 4, the Prometheus busboard as well as other operating systems such as Windows. The Catweasel lets you read almost any disk format using ordinary 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disk drives. The Mk-IV now also supports disk drives which do not have a manual eject button, but can only be ejected in software. The card contains two 9pin Amiga-style joystick / mouse ports which as well as supporting Amiga mice and joysticks also support CD32 control pads. There are two PS/2 type connectors on the card, one is a keyboard connector which supports both Amiga and PC keyboards whilst the second is for attaching PS/2 mice. Two SID chips (the sound chip used in the C64) can be fitted to the card for precise emulation of C64 sound in stereo.

I used the Boss joystick, i like that the best cause of the firebutton on the top of the stick, it was faster with the trigger :D
They were pretty good until my father broke off the joystick while serving in a tennis game lol :lol:
