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, and line filter.
Here is the board layout:
If you lay down the boards exactly like the diagram, all the game bus
connectors align themselves. The games bus connectors are all 23-pin
small-width MTA connectors, except for two 18-pin small-width MTA
connectors at locations J3 and J4 of BSC-1000 and VFB-1000.

These pinouts are for all the large-width MTA connectors on the game
boards. These connectors all have the fatter pins.
