Re: Asteroids losing voltage

I have to agree with John here, a power supply that has a shot regulator will drop its voltage under load.

I've seen so many Atari boards that have had the +5 and/or +sense wires soldered directly to the board because the edge connector was burnt to a crisp. I've seen a lot of Pole Positions like this.

Just so I am clear on this, you want me to wire the sense line directly to the +5VDC so that it thinks it has +5 on the board and does not increase the voltage? No need to answer unless I have this screwed up. A no answer will mean "ya dummy... you want a picture!" ;-) Thanks again, Dean
