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.

Army Battlezone (Atari, 1980/1981)
Submitted by Unknown
"Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.
