Does anyone make adaptors to allow Atari standard joysticks to be used with the Dragon?
Someone asked me if I do them, but unfortunately not - but I don't know where to point them!

There existed a peripheral called
Dragon Tamer that allowed to play with a digital joystick on the Dragon.
I uploaded the software that came with the Tamer, but I haven't seen it nor any schematics. It shouldn't be difficult to replicate though.

The other option of course is if someone has a working Dragon joystick for sale...

There was also a company making and selling an adapter at one time, IIRC.
Perhaps it was Altec? Their excess stock might have ended up with NDUG? I can't really remember!
Anyway, think I've got one somewhere... can dig it out and take some snaps if there isn't already any info or pictures of it.

Here's an updated schematic prepared by mcleod_ideafix @ retrowiki forum.
Pin #6 is the CoCo3's second fire button and is not supported on the Dragon.
