Retro Donald sells a great USB Joystick Adapter kit that allows you to connect two 9-Pin joysticks to your PC via USB.

I think he only sells them in Kit form that you have to solder yourself. I purchased and assembled 20 of them before and sold them off to the community pretty much at cost. If you need someone to solder one together for you, I'm sure you could find someone here to help.
I'd be happy to do it for you, but it might save you some money to get someone in the UK to help.

Thats a shame (timing I mean). I am in the process of creating a USB box that will do just this (and will allow other controllers to be connected via USB), however as I am snowed under with work at the mo I really have not had the time to get my teeth into it.
I have a Megadrive - USB working prototype here, which I am going to use as a base for other adaptors, with DB9 joysticks high up on the list of controllers I am aiming to convert.
I don't have a ZipStick (although I could get one - or even convert your one?), but I could sort out an original Competition Pro which has been converted to USB, but it depends on how quick you want it? It would be either a DB9 to USB box or I put the USB circuitry and lead into the joystick itself and do away with the DB9 altogether.
