Need info on obscure Flip Chip

Hi, I'm looking for information on a semi-obscure Flip Chip; an M826 (sort sort of combination clock/counter). I can't find out anything about it. Apparently the M8xx Flip Chips were generally custom modules intended for a specific device, which is probably why I can't find anything on it. I've

Re: Using a modern USB joystick on a vintage computer (Atari compatible)

You can get a USB master shield for the Arduino cheaply enough. You can then use the Arduino's PWM output and analog input to translate joystick to DC voltage. One would need to put a lowpass filter on the PWM output. Another option would be to use a multiplying D/A instead for the output. I

Most of the VME gear pre-dates folks putting it online on their web sites. This means that what exists is on paper and since there was never the fanatical devotion to preservation like the pdp-11 gear in that community, most of it is gone to the landfill. Plus DEC's documentation is way better

Using a modern USB joystick on a vintage computer (Atari compatible)

I've seen plenty of examples of adapters to use a vintage joystick with a modern computer. I'd like the opposite - to use a USB controller with a vintage computer (Atari compatible - for example ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64). Does anyone know of an adapter or a homebrew project? Thanks, Mark.
