Been a while but I am pretty sure I was able to run mine tempest with mine.

Out of curiosity, has anyone successfully run Tempest from the 6502 pod? I
never had any trouble using one to poke around in memory and test stuff (way
back with the Tempest multigame), but my Tempest machine would never 'run'
from the 9010. Tried a couple different CPU's and maybe even a 9005, but I
only had one 6502 pod... Never really knew if it was just my machine, the
pod or both...
