The Atari joystick is a collection of on/off switches. The IBM PC game port (according to the Tech Ref; I assume your Quadram is the same) calls for proportional control using 100K pots. (I've heard a nasty rumor that it really needs 400K, in spite of the manual.) Thus no amount of cable transposition will help. Sorry.
