Today, I found this "package" for $20:

Atari Jaguar system
White men can't jump game (a cart I didn't have)
an Atari Jaguar "Team Tap" Multi player adapter

....and another "multi player adapter", 3rd party, called the "Super
Multi Play" performance. It has four ports, and a Mode 1 / Mode 2
switch. I THINK this is for the Jag.. anyone have any info on this
piece of equipment?

Nice, I really like the jag, although WMCJ is a terrible game, and I can't
think of any other games that use the Team Tap.

I googled and found something for the Genisis. It should be easy to
check, if it fits a Genny controller, it's for the Genny. If it fits a
Jag controller, it's for the Jag.

Remember, the Jag controller uses a D-sub mini 15-pin connector (3
rows, 5 pins each - just like a VGA monitor jack), while the Genesis
uses a D-sub 9 (which is roughly the same size, but has only 9 pins -
one row of five and another of four). Like this:


Jaguar controller:

Thanks, I do belive the Jaguar controller jack also has male
(penetrative) pins that go into the jag, and the Genesis has female
(receptive) holes.
