Atari Cat boxes

Not exactly vector but close enough.

As I have spent the past two days trying to figure out my Battle Zone board problems I was wondering if a Cat Box might help. If nothing else it would have made testing the ls244's easier.

I have the docs for the CB and looking at the schematics it doesn't look really all that complex (6502 and maybe another 10 LS parts). I was wondering if anyone would be interested trying to reproduce these. I have a sig analyzer already (HP5004A) but that wouldn't help with the memory checking and the buffer checking and as the 244 and 245's are often suspect the CB really could come in handy.

Now I have the docs and am willing to front some $ but I don't have a CB and would have to get a copy of the ROM image from someone out there who does (anyone willing to read the ROM from theres?). I am making the assumption that SOMEONE has one.

I would need some help in getting the stuff into a format for getting boards done (Clay?). I am more than willing to do the grunt work of entering the schematic into some capture program but I don't have anything to do the job. Suggestions welcome on that front.

Open to ideas and comment.
