Common Ground 8 (connect to +5V for the Apple interface)

By using this pin-out, your joystick can also be used on Commodore 64 and
Atari (computer or game) systems.
For Apple II and II+ owners:
The logic for the push-buttons is not positive logic. You will need to use
a 5V coil relay or a transistor circuit to convert the +5V, normally open
switch logic for FIRE 1 & 2 to the open-collector logic (normally closed
switch connected to ground) used by the game port.
** disclaimer time **
I have used the above circuit on my Apple II+ for 9 years without any problem.
However, I am not responsible or liable for your ability with a soldering iron.
Use this circuit at your own risk. Someday I will probably redesign this to
work better (I know a lot more about electronics now than I did 9 years ago),
but it works and so improving the design has been a very low priority. When
the day comes that I do redesign this interface, I will certainly post it for
the Apple II community to share and enjoy.
Shade and sweet water,
Curt
