RE: Taito "Asteroids"

John,

I'm in Australia - and I don't think there are any others on the list.

Ruben (Malcor) could read them in - but he's never available and I can't get
hold of him at the moment.

I believe there is an adapter I can make for my EMP10 and that may be the
way to go.

I'll try and get the details and do it over the Christmas break.

Cheers
MacMan
