[Coco] Atari 2600 joystick adapter for the CoCo?

[theother_bob]

I still have my Nintendo CoCo controller, played many games of Ghana Bwana and Downland with it! Last time I tried using it one of the directions has quit working; probably needs a new 4066 chip. In the process, I may draw up a Perfboard layout for how to build one. I already did this for the Turbo LED project, showing both sides of the perfboard, component layout and where to solder traces.

If someone thinks the perfboard layout will help them be able to build one then I will draw it up.

Greetings-
  
  I was going through old some issues of Rainbow and noticed several vendors had the Atari 2600 adapters for the CoCo. By chance does anyone have an extra one or know how to build one? I think one of the magazines also had a how to guide.  I am not too techy to follow schematics :(. I also heard that someone modified an original Nintendo controller to work on the Tandy. That would be a great thing to have!
  
  Thanks!
  Erik
