Re: Wico X-Y pattern gen. pinout

I've got one of these and an operator's 'manual', but alas no schematics
:( However, I've spent some time tracing out the circuits, and it really
isn't that complicated. Matt McCullar figured out the XTAL frequency for
me at least! It has two EPROMs (one for the X axis and one for the Y
axis), and as John suggested, these would be super easy to replicate.

I do have harnesses for it, and if I can find some time over the next
two weeks, I'll post the pinouts and some pictures.

Jeff, can you do some of the same for the Cinematronics 'hack' you have?
Pretty please?
