Re: [techtoolslist] The Book by Atari - another game board operation book?

Got it, or one at least... I'm sure there's another with
some great block diagrams and descriptions of the game board
functional blocks, anyone know it?

I found good info in the Williams Defender Theory of Operation manuals, can get them here...
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=7547

Anyone know of any others?

Cheers,

Marc
