Russian ZX Spectrum clones Joystick pinouts

[msolajic]

Hi All,

I'm making an Arduino-based joystick tester with my friend and we would like to add support for Russian ZX clones as well. Our old version (https://bitbucket.org/zzarko/joysticktester/src/master/) had male DB9 and female 6-pin DIN connectors, and new one adds a female DB15 (for PC gameport joysticks).

So far, we only found Leningrad joystick pinout (http://sblive.narod.ru/ZX-Spectrum/C.../Composite.htm), but would like pinouts for other popular clones as well. If someone could point us where to find pinouts for joystick ports for the clones that you'll want to be supported (and that are like the ports we have on our joystick tester), that would be great.

Thanks,
Marko

Во многих Советских клонах Спектрума для подключения джойстиков применялись разьемы DIN5.
Но поскольку требовалось 6 линий для подключения, то использовался также и корпус самого разьема.
У Магиков и Кворумов цоколевка была такой:
1 - DOWN
2 - LEFT
3 - RIGHT
4 - UP
5 - FIRE
Корпус - Общий.
