Adapter for Atari/Sega joysticks on Apple II / Franklin ACE 1000.
This is a slight reworking of Tor Arne Hustvedt’s “Apple IIe digital joystick adaptor for using Kempston/Atari/Amiga digital joysticks on an Apple IIe”, available at https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Apple_IIe_digital_joystick_adaptor_for_using_Kempston_SEGA_Atari_Amiga_digital_joysticks_on_an_Apple_IIe.html
The schematic has been recreated from the board file, and the BC558 PNP transistors have been replaced with 2N3906 transistors (which seem to be more readily available).
BOM– (6 PNP Transistor 2N3906 Through hole) (10 Resistor 1 kΩ, 1/4W Standard carbon film) (2 Resistor 10 kΩ, 1/4W Standard carbon film) (2 Resistor 560 Ω, 1/4W Standard carbon film) (2 Trimmer Pot 100 kΩ Adjustable) (2 Ceramic Capacitor 0.1 µF Decoupling / bypass) (1 Electrolytic Capacitor 22 µF Polarized) (2 Connector DB 9 Male (9 pin D SUB) Panel or PCB mount)
