That's what Jim Nitchals was thinking when we discussed this sort of project.
I was thinking of using the paddle lines as an A/D converter. One of the
old Atari 8-bit magazines had the plans to build a digitizer that used the
paddle lines on the joystick port for the 8-bit computers. It would likely
work on a 2600 as well. I think it's doable.
