I've only seen the adapters for the joysticks, not the trackballs. Have you googled around for it?

OK, I got my adapters mixed up. I was thinking the 2600, not 5200.

Why not ask the question at atariage.com? They're a awesome group. They're the ones that have the 2600 to usb adapters, they might know something about what you want.
