Yeah, Pole Position, Xevious, Cloak and Dagger and a couple others used
those. I have something that's a decent alternative though... Turns
out that Intel used the same *physical* setup for something back in
1977. Anyway, I grabbed some of them in a surplus place, but there's a
catch--

Turns out the Intel wiring is something like "inner to outer" and Atari
wants "inner to inner and outer to outer" (or the other wasy around).
So in order to use them you need to cut the traces down the center of
the board and use some wire and solder to "rearrange" the connections.
I was going to do a bunch some weekend, but there's always something
more interesting than that... ;-)

But, if anyone needs some and is willing to "rewire" them yourself-- $10
each for the whole thing. (PCB, and two connectors.) Not real sure how
many I have-- probably about 10? First come, first served...
