DINA 2-in-1 controller pinout?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the controller pinout for the DINA 2-in-1. I'm curious if it has the 5V VCC for the SG-1000 operation and I could use USB to Atari or PS2 to Atari (sim. Amiga/Genesis) type adapters with it for ColecoVision games .

I'm trying to find some of this information myself. I haven't had much luck finding any information on the internet. The most information I could find was right here on the Atari Age forums. However, if schematics or pin-outs exist for this system I haven't been able to find them. From what I have been able to find, there are at least two different hardware configurations for NTSC systems. One takes 3 voltages and may not have come with a power supply. (If so, this is very peculiar, as this isn't exactly an commonly available power supply.) Apparently, an original Colecovision supply will work with these, although the power supply is a common failure point of the Colecovision, so I'm not sure this does much to ameliorate the problem of a missing power supply. The second type of Dina, which is the type I have, takes a single 5V supply, which in my case, came with the unit.

 

Since the Sega Genesis controller is said to work with the unit, it seems likely that there is +5vdc on pin 5. When I have a chance, I'll check mine, but it sure would be nice if there were a place where all of the available information on the console could be collect into one place. Maybe there already is, and there just isn't much information.
