RE: New Vector Games

We were considering using Clay's 'Get Well' kits for a couple of reasons.
1) only one EPROM to burn.
2) if our programs became larger than 20k (space duel's limit) then we
wouldn't be able to work without it.
We could probably get by with the RAM on the machine, but it might be nice
to have to option to use more.

I've also thought a lot about linking 2 machines together. Both games would
need a bank of memory that the other machine could write into. Once that's
figured out, I think it would be real easy to write code to run a linked
game.

"I'm in the process of writing new games (with some help from Anders) for
atari hardware."

you REALLY want to get some of Clay's 6502 'Get Well' kits. I haven't seen
the final design, but when I was up there working with him on it, we had the
idea for another board with a UART on it to slave together two game cabinets
(and be able to use it as a debugging board)

If nothing else, it gives you a board with more RAM and banked ROM space
that
can plug into the game's 6502 socket.

Did you end up providing the wiring to support flash roms, Clay?
