David,

As Cosmic Chasm is being talked about on RGVAC I can across this passage this
morning that may be useful to you:

The hardware that CC runs on is different than any other
                          cinematronics game, and there were no other games
made using
                          this hardware except for Centuri's Aztarac. It looks like
                          Cinematronics had big plans for it though, because
there are
                          unpopulated parts of the board that say "control
panel #1
                          trackball," and "control panel #2 trackball." so it
looks like it
                          was made to support a cocktail mode too. It connects
to the
                          game through a gigantic edge connector (top), and a seperate
                          connector provides video output to the monitor
(left). The new
                          board was designed for easy conversions also. The
game ROMs
                          are all on a separate card that plugs into the
botton board, and
the sound ROM is also on a removable card on the top board (it is visible on
the right side
of the board, the connector is blue)

So it may just be a rom swap - but other people here would know better.

The website this is from is: http://idt.net/~mayday19/video/cosmicchasm.html

It'd be cool if you could do a multigame.

Cheers
MacMan
