<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>I have a Pac with a low 6M* line, when I piggyback a 74LS86 (IIRC,
whatever <br>
chip generates that signal) on it, it's fine, but taking it off, the game <br>
'bogs down', sometimes, but plays with no glitches but somtimes the music <br>
slows down speeds up, etc. Looks like low TTL levels measured at Pin 1 on <br>
the z80 sync buss card. When I say piggyback, I put my logic comparator on <br>
it and it raises the levels by about .4V<br>
<br>
Do folks just slap some HC chips in the circuit or is there a better classic <br>
way to fix this? Course I could just solder a duplicate chip on top I guess. <br>
I suppose something else tied to that line may be pulling it down but I <br>
haven't gotten that far yet. Replacing the crappy sync buss single wipe <br>
socket may help of course.</span></font><font face=Arial><span
