Dear all,

I'm obviously in the minority here. My signatures don't match the Atari
guides using the CAT box. Granted, i get the same signatures for the
mathbox on the vector games but for the rest of the board i get completely
different signatures. I've already knocked up a couple of my guides. Could
someone volunteer to try them out for me. It probably shouldn't take more
than 30 minutes per board. Jess has kindly offered to host them on his site
so i'd like someone just to give them the once over. The guides are based
on the Atari guides but i used an HP5004A and my handmade NOP card.

If anyone can help me out then i'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Peter
