question, and SW/ESB kit update...

Ok, off charter question, but I know someone here will know... Which
Gottlieb games used the 8088? I've got a PCB I'm trying to ID. Didn't
want to go digging through EPROM data unless I had to. ;-)

SW/ESB stuff-- dunno if anyone other than Gregg cares about this at the
moment, but I got the "new" SW/ESB prototype working happily over the
weekend. (A single board that plugs into the 6809 socket on the CPU
board, then one EPROM for the AVG, and one for the Sound card-- much
easier to install!) Anyway, I need to experiment a little with the
NOVRAM and then I should be able to have boards made. (I want to use
one of those Dallas battery-backed SRAMs instead of the X22C12 novrams,
but I'm not sure if that'll cause problems outside of self-test.)

An a positive note-- most all the CPU code is now on a single 27C010
EPROM, so that makes it much easier to attach an EPROM emulator and muck
with the code. ;-) I've got a 6809 Mnemonic disasembler cart for my
logic analyzer and I'm ready to go looking for that damn shield-counter
in ESB... Time to add a shield for surviving the asteroid field.
