Don't think you can...U_Rebel has explained why before I think...

Ya, I sort of mentioned the differences in this thread.  But it might be possible....

Some Differences
atari[/b]DC[/b]voltage(AFAIK) 12 V5 Vnum sensors per axis12Hall effect movementslide byhead on (aka normal, aka most widely explained way)
Now, if you know DC's circuitly, and if its two sensors are in series (like combined pedals' POTs), and if you know DC normal output range, and if you can replace the sensors and/or magnetics on the 720 controller to match DC's output, and if you can wire this to the DC, hey, piece of cake. ;D

Going the other way (hack a DC controller into an Atari controller), OTOH, is much harder (aka "impossible").
