I have hooked up an old CGA colour monitor with no problems...check
computer graveyards! Colour is nice - but very primitive! Blue
background, white letters...<br><br>

know much about this either.. but since the schems specify +5 for the

might as well hook it up.<br><br>
I would probably just try to dig up a CGA monitor and see what
happens..&nbsp; might as well go color since you have to dig up a monitor
anyway :)<br><br>
I finally set up my bench again this week and started messing around with
the 9100s again.. but I havnt been doing much other than assigning RAM
&amp; ROM sig refs for a few games..I don't have a TL1 manual or
programmers manual handy.. I think Chris L still has them, I gave them to
him to scan many moons ago.. Is the TL1 manual online anywhere?

I ran through all my Star Wars PCBs the past 2 days.. I was pulling the
matrix PROMS and just checking them in my 29B..&nbsp; I would guess there
would be 2 ways of testing them on-board.. A script that writes blocks of
the PROMs into MBRAM and then verifying them there, or using an I/O pod
and&nbsp; grabbing a sig.. I have a big stack of Asteroids boards on the
que as well, I guess its the same story with the state machine PROM?

So after fixing 6 main SW pcbs.. I go through the AVGs and out of 8 of
them, 5 have bad custom address controllers.. grrr... Anybody have any SW
sound boards? For some reason most of mine are missing :(<br><br>
