Re: Rip Off

>Have you checked the watchdog??

I would, but I can't find it. I've got 2 problems with these schematics:
First, they are not Atari! This is the first non-Atari vector game I've
worked on and *everything* is different. I completely flipped out (and was
pretty amazed) when I realized that there isn't a microprocessor on here!
Second, the prints I have and the ones on Spies are both very difficult to
read. The text is very light and I'm having trouble reading it.

So, I can't find the watchdog. Where is it? Also, I did find a point on the
schems that says "Diagnostic test line - tie low for test." This is hanging
off pin 1 of something (O2?) which is hanging off pin 15 of N2. What's this
for?

Thanks,
