I saw your original post, and it's not like I'm keeping things secret.

I have an adapter that will read the strange PROMs used by Sundance.
The thing is I'll be damned if remember the pinout. We just started
"trying things" based on the schematic, and one combination finally
worked.

What I'm going to have to do is:

#1) Find the adapter.
#2) Trace the pinouts.

There was also an invertor on the adapter, but I can't remember if we
used it or not, I don't think it ended up being needed.

It was a combination that *was* shown on the schematic though.

I'll figure things out this weekend and let you know. I would like a
nice PCB for reading Cinematronics ROMs. The different PROM variations
(and there were a few) werE all available, off the shelve parts, and if
you build a board to read these I'm sure it would come in handy for
other games.

I think you could read all the variations of ROMs with three dual setup
jumpers, or 6 DIP switches, or something. I'll let you know.
