Possible ASCII controller?

This document for a homebrew adapter talks about how support for the ASCII controller was discovered and implemented in the software. Could this theory be put into this software so we can use both the keyboard and the controller parts (it's a two port controller)?

I don't have an actual ASCII controller to test with, but my feeling is it won't work since I believe the ASCII controller has a different payload format than normal controllers.

I actually got my hands on one of these today:

I'm looking at the input stream with the old Gist script and it looks like it doesn't even recognize when the keyboard is plugged in... that said, it may just require something like what these docs recommend:

I'll look into the OP link next.
