I would appreciate it very much if someone could either send me or post the pin outs of the joystick ports. Thanks, Marc -- Marc L. Appelbaum "Insanity is just a state of mind" Arpa: marc@aim.rutgers.edu Uucp:rutgers!ru-blue!appelbaum

The joystick pinouts are one of many things in the back of Mapping The Atari, 1985 edition. I am not at home right now so cannot post them, but anyone who cares about such things certainly should have Mapping The Atari in his/her library. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa

Appelbaum "Insanity is just a state of mind" > Arpa: marc@aim.rutgers.edu Uucp:rutgers!ru-blue!appelbaum I am going to try to kill two birds with one stone with this posting. Chrominance is available on all Atari 8 bitters. Whether or not it is wired to the connector is another matter. For the 800XL connect a 220 ohm resistor from the emitter of Q5 to pin 5 of the DIN jack. On the 1200XL (which is my personal favorite) connect a 220 ohm resistor from the emitter of Q7 to pin 5 of the DIN jack. And now for the Joystick pinout.....
