Gravitar Control Panel in a Space Duel Cabinet
Submitted by John Lee (jhlee@hac2arpa.hac.com)
The following describes how to connect an Atari Gravitar control panel to the Atari Space Duel cabinet harness. Both the Gravitor control panel and game PCB are virtual drop-in substitutes into the Space Duel cabinet. However, while the Gravitar panel has a 12-pin Molex-type connector, Space Duel uses a 24-pin AMP-type connector. Fortunately, the Space Duel control panel signals are a superset of Gravitar's.
In my own conversion, I made a small

Programming the Atari XY Vector Generator
The information in this document is not guaranteed to be accurate, use at your own risk. The Atari Analogue Vector Generator (or AVG) is the circuitry used to draw lines on the special XY monitors of some games from the late seventies and early eighties. These include Asteroids, Battlezone, Tempest, Gravitar and Star Wars, all of which used a slightly different AVG as the games evolved. The AVG is a small computer in its own right, it has its own ROM, RAM, instruction set and stack for subro

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca)
Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w

Adapter to plug Asteroids Deluxe board into Asteroids harness
Inspired from the recent posting on converting a Gravitar/Black Widow to a Tempest/Major Havoc, I've decided to document a similar conversion to and from Asteroids Deluxe. This is a simpler conversion than the aforementioned Tempest hackery, but you should still read everything first and be sure you understand what you're doing before proceeding. Although I can't guarantee 24-hour delivery, I'll also try to respond to any questions you may have...
Credit goes to Rick Schieve and Steve Ozdemir for letting

O-Taito is the Old Taito pinout on wiretap. N-Taito is the New-Taito pinout (Like Elevator Action). Quote by R. Schieve: "Taito.pin will match most for power, ground, monitor, and speaker connections but inputs are usually quite different." DECO/Data East is the Data East pinout.
