	Does anyone have the pin-out specifications for a Koala Pad?

Also for the C-64

Since some of the C64 peripherals (e.g. joysticks) work just fine on the
Amiga, I would venture to guess you could just plug the Koala pad into the
Amiga's joystick port and see what happens.  The Koala "may" simply emulate
a joystick.

Point being: the +5 and ground pins and the (joy)stick "direction" pins seem
to be the same else the C64 joysticks wouldn't work as well as they do on the
Amiga.
