Tron to Satan's Hollow conversion (long - with pinouts!)
Hi all. Last night I convverted my Tron Mini into a dedicated Satans Hollow. It's not as easy as i thought it would be...
First things first. Satans Hollow and Tron have quite a bit in common, and they have almost as many differences. My situation was this: I have a Satans hollow fullsize control panel (with controls), a fullsize tron control panel with controls, and a mini tron control panel without controls. I've got 2 Bally/Midway MCR/II board sandwiches. One with Tron eproms, the other with Sata

"fea-ture") in same.
It seems that the addressee line (TO: ...) is parsed

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
