Does someone know how do the connections in a PC joystick go?!?
I'd like to know the pin configuration and possibly the range in 
which the voltage stays.

The meaning is to do an adapter to change the old Atari/Commodore type 
digital joystick signal to analogic format. 
Not to CONVERT the stick, but just to try. 
Besides the stick could prove nice as Gunship 2000 second joystick. 

That kind'a stick would have simply one position to each facing, but 
in some definite games it would not bother me! 

So thank you very much if you would send the possible information to me!
I seem not to find it in any of the books I have searched. I know it is 
somewhere, it's only the pin congiguration, and the range of the signal!

See ya!
