This ISA card, discovered inside an Amiga 2000, is most likely a PC game port interface designed for analog joysticks.
Several features support this conclusion:
-
It has two female, two-row DB15 connectors – a common layout for PC joystick/gameport cards.
-
The presence of a trimmer potentiometer suggests it was designed to be calibrated to the PC’s CPU or bus frequency, a typical requirement for analog input devices.
-
On the top side of the 8-bit ISA connector, 10 address lines are connected, giving the card access to I/O addresses from 0x0000
to 0x02FF
.
Notably, standard PC game ports are mapped to I/O address range 0x0200–0x020F
.
Taken together, these characteristics strongly indicate that this card is a standard PC-compatible game port controller.
