Is it possible? If so, where can I find an adapter?

I have never come across such an adaptor. I don't think anyone has bothered to make a Cube->PS2 adaptor due to a problem of incomplete button mapping, analogue buttons, and a general opinion that a standard Cube controller is sub-optimal for non-Nintendo games (which is basically the entire PS2 library, and wait for it.... most of the Cube library! OMFGLOL).
I used to have a Hori digital controller though. It was better than the standard controller, but better than sucky isn't saying much. The face button layout is still stupid, and the D-pad hurts. Anyone who thinks it's a great D-pad has never played a Saturn.
Anyway, I don't think there's any plug-and-play solution. You'll have to do some hacking if you're desperate, and even then, you're better off hacking a Saturn pad.

No worries. I purposely made my last post sound anti-Nintendo fanboyish.
It's really not that bad until you start trying to push face button combinations not involving "A". Also, the D-pad only hurts if you're a thumb-slider like myself, instead of keeping your thumb in the middle and rocking it around.
At any rate, it's nice to go back to using a low-profile controller that isn't the size of a semi-trailer with handles and other bulky crap.
