Crazy! ;-) How are you going to get the "bump bump" sounds that Asteroids
has out of the LL board? That hardware doesn't exist on LL...

That's primarily the reason I started on an Asteroids Deluxe board - it
has the largest set of features for all boards. Of course it doesn't have
the thump sound in Asteroids, but I can fake it with the Pokey.

If you're wondering about status on my board, I'm waiting for parts to
come from JDR. I've supposedly got a bad 2114, so that'll have to be
replaced before I can continue (they're on order!).
