I'd say none, as there was no standard controller element to do so. Paddles allow only one value to be inputted (plus some button) but adding a spin would requite another value with multiple digits plus sign (direction).
Of course and as usual, it's next to impossible that something didn't exist.
The situation is of course different using other methods of ...

The standard text mode for VGA DOS was 80 by 25 characters, which translated to a resolution of 720 by 400 (characters of 9 by 16 pixels) per the table on VGA text mode page in Wikipedia.
One option would be to change the mode and see if you can get the resolution high enough for your converter, but that would depend on the capabilities of the graphics ...

That is almost certainly the key. Original VGA supported 640x480 16-colors and 720x400 (essentially a small step up from the 720x350 monochrome (MDA) text, but with color). While VGA has come to mean "any video card and monitor that uses a blue 15-pin connector" that's not what ...

DOS is almost surely not outputting 800x600 or up, and is probably in the ballpark of 720x350 or thereabouts. Further, it's likely 70Hz, which this adapter may not like.
I'd recommend you get a display that can use the signal from card natively -- any old multiscan CRT and lots of early LCDs can do this -- but if you're determined to use this adapter, you ...
