(image in attachment) #2 Fri, 6 Mar 2015 - 10:10 68kMLA Hi, yes IIRC those are a pair of Joysticks for the Apple II range. #3 Fri, 6 Mar 2015 - 10:22 68kMLA Thanks. They are connected to this computer but this isn't a Apple II or is it? #4 Fri, 6 Mar 2015 - 12:01 68kMLA Could be an Apple IIe clone. No badge so that would be my guess. #5 Fri, 6 Mar 2015 - 14:01 68kMLA Yes maybe a clone: http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2008-9-21-Restoring%20and%20repairing%204%20apple%20IIs.htm #6 Fri, 6 Mar 2015 - 16:35 68kMLA Those are Apple paddles. The choice joystick for games like Brickout, Arkanoid, Wavy Navy, and any other game that makes sense to have an analogue wheel. That's an Apple II clone. However, IBM/Apple/Atari adapters weren't uncommon. #7 Sat, 7 Mar 2015 - 07:46 68kMLA Paddles unlike joysticks only have one degree of freedom - rotating one way or the other. So they only work with certain games.
