Williams Hardware Description
The older Williams games (Defender, Stargate, Robotron, Joust, Bubbles and Sinistar) have very similar hardware inside. These machines have five PC boards: CPU/Video- the main board, containing the CPU, RAM and video circuits The game CPU is a Motorola 6809E. There are 24 4116 RAM chips, giving 48K of DRAM, most of which is used for the video display (38K). There is also a 1K by 4-bit CMOS SRAM that is battery-backed-up. This retains the game configuration and high scores when the power is off.

Each Z-80 CTC channel must be programmed prior to operation. Programming consists of writing two words to the I/O port that corresponds to the desired channel. The first word is a control word that selects the operating mode and other parameters; the second word is a time constant, which is a binary data word with a value from 1 to 256. A time constant word must be preceded by a channel control word. After initialization, channels may be reprogrammed at any time. If updated control and time constant words a

Functional The Z-80 CTC has four independent counter/ Description timer channels. Each channel is individually programmed with two words: a control word and a time-constant word. The control word selects the operating mode (counter or timer), enables or disables the channel interrupt, and selects certain other operating parameters. If the timing mode is selected, the control word also sets a prescaler, which divides the system clock by either 16 or 256. The time-constant word is a value from 1 to 256. Durin

Nintendo Video Inversion By Joel Rosenzweig Joel-r@an.hp.com Much technical information provided by Dick Millikan. Version 1.0, 1/21/98 This document describes how to invert the video from Nintendo's Donkey Kong Jr. It includes enough hints to help you convert Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers, but the procedures are slightly different for these boards, and I haven't personally tested it on them. There used to be two ways to invert the video of a Nintendo game. Now there are three! I feel this

RAMPAGE (Midway, 1986) ---------------------- For testing purposes, you can run the 68000 CPU board without the SOUNDS GOOD daughterboard. Yes, this means that you can quickly power up the game using only +5V, GND, and the video signals. If you hold the TEST pin (J2, pin 6) to GND, you can then ground the SERVICE pin (J2, pin 7) to cycle through the self-test screens. The practical upshot of all this is that having an incomplete board set isn't a show-stopper. You can play the game quite nicel

These boards use male MTA (Mass-Termination Assembly) connectors in both the .156" (large) and .100" (small) sizes. You'll need several in both sizes.
