device, disk drive emulator and mouse/joystick interface all in one. It allows you to use modern USB devices with your old Commodore computer. Savyour targets MSSIAH users, retro gamers and 8-bit enthusiasts who want to use modern peripherals with their beloved Commodores. Plugs into the joystick port. No power adapter needed. No LCD screen needed. Runs on Commodore 64, 128, SX64 Atari ST (mouse/joystick) - extension cord required! Commodore Amiga (mouse/joystick) Works with USB 2.0 low power devices: memory sticks, mice, keyboards and joysticks. (To use Savyour as a disk drive a 6 pin serial cable between Savyour and the C64 is required)

  • Evans, Gareth; Blenkhorn, Paul a Head Operated Joystick
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 430 330 EC 307 177 AUTHOR Evans, Gareth; Blenkhorn, Paul TITLE A Head Operated Joystick--Experience with Use. PUB DATE 1999-03-00 NOTE 6p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Accessibility (for Disabled); *Assistive Devices (for Disabled); *Input Output Devices; *Severe Disabilities; Use Studies IDENTIFIERS *Joysticks ABSTRACT This paper describes the development and evaluation of a low-cost head-operated joystick for computer users with disabilities that prevent them from using a conventional hand-operated computer mouse and/or keyboard. The paper focuses on three issues: first, the style of head movement required by the device; second, whether a head-operated device should work as an absolute positioning device or as a joystick; and, third, the accuracy required by the device. It finds that the device's "nose following" style of head movement is more accepted by users than alternatives; that users also preferred the joystick relative pointing device over absolute positioning devices; and that users did not notice inaccuracies inherent in the device's design, thus allowing production at a lower cost.

    Writing with a Joystick: A Comparison of Date Stamp, Selection Keyboard, and EdgeWrite Jacob O. Wobbrock, Brad A. Myers and Htet Htet Aung Human-Computer Interaction Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA {jrock, bam, hha}@cs.cmu.edu http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~edgewrite/ Abstract A joystick text entry method for game controllers and mobile phones would be valuable, since these devices often have joysticks but no conventional keyboards. But prevalent joystick text entry methods are slow because they are selection-based. EdgeWrite, a new joystick text entry method, is not based on selection but on gestures from a unistroke alphabet. Our experiment shows that this new method is faster, leaves fewer errors, and is more satisfying than date stamp and selection keyboard (two prevalent Figure 1. The Saitek P2500 Rumble Force Pad. Our experiment selection-based methods) for novices after minimal used the two thumbsticks and one of the silver buttons. practice. For more practiced users, our results show that EdgeWrite is at least 1.5 times faster than selection messenger-style text. With only selection-based text entry keyboard, and 2.4 times faster than date stamp. methods for game controllers, this can be awkward.

Advisor: Christopher Lee In an attempt to investigate the challenges of recovering and preserving digital objects from legacy systems this case study focuses on working with a particular storage medium and computing hardware. This study illustrates the physical and representational challenges that result from recovering data created with a Commodore 64 computer and stored on 5¼” floppy disks. A system for classifying types of digital objects found in the sample of recovered data was developed. This study contributes to the discourse of collecting institutions engaged in digital preservation and provides examples of ad hoc solutions for working through the challenges of recovering meaningful information from legacy systems. The issues that come to light in this study can be extended beyond the context of the Commodore 64 to include other types of digital resources and computing artifacts that will potentially cross the archival threshold in the near future.
