Super Pac-Man Midway, December 1982
-----------------------------------
 
There are three boards to the Super Pac-Man boardset:
   CPU Board         A084-91436-D316
   Video Board       A084-91435-C316
   Credit Bypass Bd  A082-91348-0000
 
The CPU board is labeled with:
      [@ location 2M]
      c1982 BALLY MIDWAY MFG. CO
         ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
      [@ location 3K]
      A084-91436-F316
      [@ location 4J]
      SUPER PAC-MAN CPU BD.
 
And the video board is labeled with:

             VIDEO P.C. BD

* Note: It looks to me like pin 7 is inverted before it reaches the Coin
Meter or Credit Bypass board pin 4.  The symbol used is "-->|".  The ">"
is a triangle.  On the other side of the coin meter, the diagram shows
the trace going to UNREG +5V on the power supply.
 
** Note: Tilt shares it's ground with coin switch 1, coin switch 2, and
Cred/3.  Also, pin 14 goes to a Play/Test switch (I don't recognize the
symbol for this switch), which gets its ground from CPU/J3-2.  I assume
this Play/Test switch is the kind where you pull it out to put the game
into test mode.

* Note: the Credit Bypass board schematic shows pins 1, 2, and 4 as being
on the same trace.  I have a feeling that CPU/J2-16 can just be considered
the Coin Switch pinout if you don't have a Credit Bypass board.

Hi Dave,
 
I finally got all my Molex connectors I was waiting for, so I got to wire
up my Super Pacman this weekend! And it works, with a few minor mods to
your pinout. The only problem was getting around the coin bypass board,
which wasn't difficult. Anyway, here is the amended info, you might want
to merege it with the one you sent me.
 
Super PacMan Wiring Notes
 
1. The credit bypass board is not required to get Super PacMan running.
J2-8 appears to be the coin pin, although it is marked "Not Used" on your
pinout. J2-15 has no effect as a coin pin.
 
2. Not all the pins need to be connected to work. Looking at the traces,
 many appear to be common. The following pinout works correctly:
 
 CPU Board
 ---------
 
 J1-2  Speaker Ground
 J1-3  Speaker
 
 J2-1  Joystick Down (Player 1)
 J2-2  Joystick Left (Player 1)
 J2-3  Joystick Up (Player 1)
 J2-4  Joystick Right (Player 1)
 J2-8  Coin
 J2-10 Player 2 Start
 J2-11 Player 1 Start
 J2-13 Player 1 Fast
 J2-15 Ground - looped over to J3-3
 
 J3-1  Ground
 J3-2  Control Ground  (this was spare so I used it)
 J3-3  Ground - looped over to J2-15
 J3-4  -5V
 J3-5  +12V
 J3-7  +5V
 
 Video Board
 -----------
 
 J1-1  Coin Ground  (this was spare so I used it)
 J1-2  Composite Sync (-)
 J1-6  Blue
 J1-8  Green
 J1-10 Red
 J1-11 Video Ground
