Chrominance is available on all Atari 8 bitters. Whether or not it is wired to the connector is another matter. For the 800XL connect a 220 ohm resistor from the emitter of Q5 to pin 5 of the DIN jack. On the 1200XL (which is my personal favorite) connect a 220 ohm resistor from the emitter of Q7 to pin 5 of the DIN jack. And now for the Joystick pinout.....
