IC List
Timing information for ICs is not yet available, and only TTL, 4000-series CMOS and some microprocessor (support) chips are included. For now, it is not clear how the format used can be extended to include linear ICs, as these usually require much more additional information such as a block diagram. The current file uses the PC8 character set (a.k.a. codepage 437), but can be converted to 7-bit ASCII without too much trouble (losing some niceties). As it is, it is small and simple enough to keep it in you

S * TJ FEBRUARY 198212 CINEMATRONICS Blowing of Circuit Breakers A common failure of the current amplifier, especially in the earlier monitors, is blowing of circuit breakers CB1 and CB2 accompanied by burning of the 47ohm resistors around the power transistor molex. These transistors are mounted to the heat sinks which are attached to the metal side panels of the monitor. If this problem should occur, check for cold solder joints around the molex pins. Check the power transistors QuO and Qil 1 (vertical) a

Phoenix
Centuri, 1980
There are two boards to the Phoenix boardset, the logic and the CPU board.
OVG-15D (Logic board, 12 EPROMs)
OVG-15U (CPU board, 8085 CPU, 8 pin DIP switch, 36 pin edge connector)
The game is powered using these supply outputs:
+5V DC @ 11 amps
-5V DC @ 1 amp
+12V DC @ 2 amps
None of the diagrams nor the manual mention the current requirements of the
game (that is, the amps required for each voltage output). But my game is

Crazy Climber Memory Map
CRAZY CLIMBER HARDWARE DETAILS AND MEMORY MAP by Lionel Theunissen. 08/01/97) Please don't take any of this information as gospel. This is what I have gleaned from my analysis of the CC ROMs and circuits, and I could be wrong about a few things. Some of it is best guess, but most of it should be correct. Bear in mind that it was quite a while ago (3 years) that I was originally working on this, so coming back into it I'm a little fuzzy on details. VIDEO: The video circuitry for Crazy Climber is
