[comp.sys.tandy] Tandy joystick help

Hello -

I need some help about Tandy joysticks.  I need to connect one to an
IBM type joystick connector.  I need to know how the various signals
from/to the Tandy joystick correspond to the IBM signals (in the DB-15
connector.)  Does anyone out there know the pinout for the Tandy 6-pin
DIN connector, and how or if they correspond to the IBM pinout?  The IBM
connector is as follows:

DB-15 pin      Function
----------     ------------------------------------
1              +5 vdc
2              button 0
3              position 0
4              ground
6              position 1
7              button 1
8              +5 vdc
9              +5 vdc
10             button 2
11             position 2
12             ground
13             position 3
14             button 3
15             +5 vdc

So far, I have the ground and buttons figured out, but can't figure out
how the potentiometers are connected.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance -
