Hi ho... I recently dug our old Colecovision system out of a closet, replaced its sick parts (the job cost $.39 --- there is some merit in playing with electronics all day instead of studying!), and plugged it into my TV here at school. One of the "Expansion Modules" I have is an adapter so you can use Atari VCS cartridges in it. However, I don't have the "Paddle Controllers" that came with the Atari machine. My question: does anybody know what the mechanism/pinouts of these doohickeys is? It's certainly not worth my going out and buying anything over $10, but if it's simple I might as well slap a pair together. While I'm at it, if anybody has schematics and/or technical info on the Colecovision system, I'd be interested for curiosity's sake. Thanks! --- Sean +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Sean P.
