It appears that there is some confusion about male/female. The

standard Apple II 9-pin Game/Joystick port has a female connector or

socket. Standard Apple II joysticks with 9-pin DIN plugs have male

connectors.

Since the standard Commodore-64 9-pin DIN port is male, it looks

like your Koala Pad (with a female plug) is intended to work on a C-64,

VIC-20, etc. machine.

As to whether or not the C-64 Koala Pad can be used on an Apple

II, it looks like, probably, it can, if you can find or build an

adaptor. This is, really, a guess. It is based upon the capabilities of

the C-64 Game port, time constant capacitor values used in the C-64,

and the probability that Koala Pad's makers would not wish to make

major design changes between Apple and C-64 models.

Although C-64 joysticks are of the simple "switcher" type which

connect to Game port switch inputs, the C-64 Game port also includes X

and Y analog "paddle" inputs. These are at pin 9 (X) and pin 5 (Y). The

C-64 manual does not ever seem to specify an optimal max R value for

the pots connected to these inputs; but, the capacitor part of the

expected R/C circuit is 1000 pF in each case and the caps go to ground.
