As I said earlier, you do have a _problem_... since the PC joystick
port is made for analog joysticks. I recall there were devices for
sale, in the past, which translated digital joyport (a la MSX) to the
analog joystick port. It's very nasty, having to calibrate etc.etc.
But sure, it is possible...good luck!!
