On the contrary, the 5200 cannot use any of the 400 accessories!

The controller plugs on the 5200 are different than the 400, 800
and 2600.  The more sophisticated joystick along with 2 sets of
fire buttons, 3 control buttons and the 12 key pad, required more
pins.  I think that the 5200 plug is a "standard" type, used
elsewhere, but don't quote me.

The Wico joysticks and trak-ball are compatible with the 400, 800
and 2600.  I like their joystick much better that the 2600 joystick.
