Re: Star Wars Problem

Hi Andy,
I used my buddies PCB set, didn't swap any chips, both sets exibited
identical problems. He has an upright, I've got a cockpit so I did have to
make size adjustments on his PCB set, can't run my boards in his game, it's
in his garage and the weather is too cold here, don't want to take any
chances turning it on. As I said earlier I have access to a third set of
boards I'll get a hold of them this weekend and see how they play in my
game, plus I can try my boards in that game.
Thanks for the help so far,
Rich
