On Topic:: ) Help w/encoder

Hey,

   O.k. I got the Go8 back up and running, everything wired into place, the
multi game runs, coin switches wired in....... I need some help with getting
a Tempest encoder to work with the spinner games in the G80 multi game.

   I talked to one friend and he suggested that perhaps the signal gain of the
Atari encoder was not high enough. He thought that lowering the value of the
resistors on the main board, to the CLK and DIR lines should solve the
problem.

   The game works perfectly with a Sega spinner but the Tempest will only spin
jerkily in one direction. Yes I did notice that the DIR and CLK lines are
reversed for the different manufacturers.

Thanks,

Bill
