I dont have a one of those Parallel Ports? on my motherboard. I have a printer port. What are my options... can anyone recommend a good usb joystick for flight sims?

**EDIT** Additional – Parallel Ports cost almost as much as a new joystic but I don’t seem to be able to find a new joystick like the old Flightstick that have independence barrel for up down motion and a smaller barrel built inside the barrel for left right motion – does anyone know what I mean? Normal joystics like the one used in the playstation have one moving ball bellow the stick and this is not good enough... A good joystic for better control should have 2 independent cylinder barrels built into one... Help!

It shall be called a MIDI port not a Parallel port;) But I am not a gamer so I have never had to purchase a Joystick.
