The wiring info you can get from the CoCo 2 Service Manual at
http://tinyurl.com/nfgw3ja - page 46 or so. A 100k pots joystick can be
wired to suit if you'd like to roll your own, two buttons and a 6 pin DIN
plug is the basics.

If you find any of the Kraft joystick sold for the IBM PC (
http://tinyurl.com/owu48aa) they will come with a plug that you'll have to
replace with the 6 pin DIN as used in the CoCo.

These Kraft joysticks often show up on Ebay pointed to use on the IBM PCJr.
