Subj: A neat trick with mail
For all of you who use the MAIL program as a form of
the "paperless office", I have discovered a bug (pronounced
"fea-ture") in same.
It seems that the addressee line (TO: ...) is parsed
independently of file handling. Mail looks at each item in

Interrupt The 2-80 CTC follows the Z-80 system inter- Operation rupt protocol for nested priority interrupts and return from interrupt, wherein the interrupt priority of a peripheral is determined by its location in a daisy chain. Two lines—TEl and lEO—in the CTC connect it to the system daisy chain. The device closest to the +5 V supply has the highest priority (Figure 13). For additional information on the Z-80 interrupt structure, refer to the Z-80 CPU Product Specification and the Z-80 CPU Technical Man

Dragon's Lair
Cinematronics Inc., 1983, pp. 6-9
The connector from the DL CPU to the disk player is composed of a ribbon
cable, a 24-pin DIP ribbon connector, and a 24-pin Centronics ribbon
connector. The #1 wire of the ribbon cable may go to the #1 pin of the
centronics connector, but then must connect to the #12 pin on the 24-
pin DIP connector. Yes, surprise me, but the cable is reversed.

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...
