Re: Tempest X,Y size

Well as I recall on some later boards B2 C2 signatures were moved around do
to changing the address lines. The sigs are the same, just coming from
different pins.

This is for board set A034986

AB0 - C2-9 - UUUU
AB1 - C2-12 - FFFF
AB2 - C2-7 - 8484
AB3 - C2-14 - P763
AB4 - C2-5 - 1U5P
AB5 - C2-16 - 0356
AB6 - C2-3 - U759
AB7 - C2-18 - 6F9A
AB8 - B2-18 - 7791
AB9 - B2-14 - 6321
AB10 - B2-9 - 37C5
AB11 - B2-5 - 6U28
AB12 - B2-7 - 4FCA
