Re: Please help with Tempest rev 3 rom images

Should be easy enough to simply burn each 16k out of 32k of the revision 3 Roms onto a set of 2716s. I think someone has already done this and the changes are only to a couple of Roms.

I must have a strange Tempest; never seen this bug in the 25 years that I've owned it. It does tend to roast the x/y transistors in the monitor every six months... I'm trying some MJE3003/4s this time...

Good luck,

Kirk

  Please help if you can.

  I am helping a friend restore a Tempest, and we've got the "screen collapse" bug when the machine goes from player 1 to player 2 in a 2 player game. Currently, the board is loaded with rev 2 roms, all 2716's. The board is strapped for 2716's, and I really didn't want to get into strapping it for 2532's, but I would like to upgrade his rom set to rev 3.

  Does anyone have rev 3 images are in 2716 format?

  Thanks in advance,

  Michael Kelley
