Re: BZ/Red Baron sense circuit

Aren't there -SENSE and +SENSE lines? I thought the +SENSE could be tied
to +5 and the -SENSE to GND as long as you are only running one board in
the game (not swapping to repair or run different games). If you are
swapping and want to do away with the SENSE lines you should turn down the
voltage between changing boards and NOT adjust it with a board in it and
the power on.

Yeah, we all do it (including me), but one day....
