all, to all those waiting on the 9100 keyboard wedge. I have to
apologize. My wife and I are expecting our first child on the
24th. And I have found myself more busy over the past nine months that
I could have possibly imagined.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">As we are
now pretty much "ready" for her arrival I now have a little
time over the next few days to try and get a few last game things
caught up. I do have to do them in the order that I received them
which means the wedges are 3rd in my list of priority right
now. Luckily the part that still needs work is software and I can
do that upstairs on my laptop after she has arrived. So don't
give up hope yet :)</font></blockquote>

appears to have a bug. First boot with ST switch results in
color ram error reported for chip 8B. Reset will clear the
error. %100 repeatable on all 3 boards.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">And another
trivia: On first boot, watch the attract mode. When the
spy goes to the 3rd down conveyer belt to collect the extra life box
it is drawn with the "Mystery" box graphic. All
subsequent attract modes will use the correct
graphic.</font></blockquote>
