Re: Pokey Eliminator differences?

Well, I think I, Robot came out after MH (as did firefox, no?) and both
of those used the Quad Pokey chip, as opposed to an eliminator.

The one that I have from 1983 has an Atari part number on it. I'll try
to get it when I go home this evening.

I only ask about the size because I'm going to have a run of boards made
and thought - space permitting - I'd do some Pokey Eliminator boards,
but I'm curious to know if the size of the board will be an issue. I
would think the smaller the better...
