Notes:

 For the cocktail, P20 pin F is labeled Left Coin Counter.
 When using the RGB color outputs, make sure P19 pin 8 (cocktail) is
  grounded or Blue (P19 pin 5) will not output.
 The start buttons also serve as the "power stone" buttons, which
  enable a player to catch a fireball.



Actually, Atari Warlords could either be in B/W or color.  Atari
released an upright 2 player version of Warlords which had a B/W
raster monitor.

I have the manual (and drawing package) for the upright version.  
In case anyone needs it, here are the switch settings for the 
upright version.
