Thanks,
Which RAMs? 2114s, 2101s, or 74S10?
If I have time I may also work up a Galaxian repair page. At the moment I'm
working on Galaga (send me your tips if you have some ~ it isn't a public
page yet but if you want to look at some ruff work
http://www.erols.com/mowerman/Galaga/Galagafix.htm )
Might as well work on the Galaxians too.
Anyone fluent in Visual Basic Programming? I've got an idea to build a
program that would have a chip data base, then be game specific & also have
a signal database & signature database as well as selected scope shots where
needed. The idea is to have a computer program to relate
signals/signatures/scope shots and see if it is helpful when working on a
board.
