DB16000 DEVELOPMENT BOARD SETUP.
After 4 hours of trial and error, and some "Oh, did we forget to tell you .."
from NATIONAL, the 16032 development board is up and ready for VAX
communications. The forrowing are the basic setup procedures and
requirements as of 8-5-'83, with ve

XENOPHOBE PINOUTS (Midway, 1987)

For testing purposes, you can run the 68000 CPU board without the SOUNDS
GOOD daughterboard. Yes, this means that you can quickly power up the
game using only +5V, GND, and the video signals. If you hold the TEST
pin (J2, pin 8) to GND, you can then ground the SERVICE pin (J2, pin 7)
to cycle through the self-test screens. The practical upshot of all this
is that having an incomplete board set isn't a show-stopper. You can play

XENOPHOBE PINOUTS (Midway, 1987)
--------------------------------
Xenophobe features three boards: CPU, Sounds Good, and a Dual Power Amp.
These boards use male MTA (Mass-Termination Assembly) connectors in both
the .156" (large) and .100" (small) sizes. You'll need several in both
sizes. Power requirements are simple: +5V and +12V are all you need.

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

For all of you who use the MAIL program as a form of

It seems that the addressee line (TO: ...) is parsed
independently of file handling. Mail looks at each item in
