Following this thread I'm starting to think BattleZone might be a good
candidate for the CPU Get Well kit... I'll look into the memory map and
everything sometime this week and see if I can get it running.
Going to try Asteroids again finally since I've got a known good board
again.
(Oh, BTW-- I've done something "clever" with the color mod for
Asteroids... Lots more colors now. It dawned on my that I can change
the vector ROM and use it to generate unique colors on a
vector-by-vector basis. ;-)
