Troubleshooting your Tempest Machine, by Gregg Woodcock
This article is Copyright worldwide 1991, 1995; all rights reserved.
This is a file I have put together which should get you started on
repairing your non-working Atari Tempest game. It lists all the
problems I have seen and lots of information from the various manuals.
Monitor failures are much more common than game board failures (in fact,
I find the game boards to be fairly robust) and that topic is so lengthy
that it is covered in another

There are serveral PCBs in a SD set, they are:

- Data/Sound PCB (08-00002-001)
- POWER SUPPLY PCB (08-00007-001)
which are similar to Qix PCBS - its believe its a simple romswap for conversion.

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...

"Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.

Berserk Pinouts
Stern, 1980
These pinouts should work for Frenzy as well. To switch games, you should
only have to switch the ZPU-1000 board. I believe the Frenzy board is
ZPU-2000.
The complete boardset includes these 6 boards:
ZPU-1000 [CPU/ROMs]
SB-1000 [Amp]
VSU-1000 [Sound/Voice]
BSC-1000 [Video]
VFB-1000 [Video + Controls]
RCR-1000 [Interface Board to controls + video]
Optionally, you may also come across the Power Supply (PS-1000), Heat
Sink (HSA-1000), transformer
