ROMs 3200A and 3500D need to be patched and replaced. The 2114 RAMs at 3H, 3J get replaced with a non-volatile RAM. Patched ROMS and the source code are posted at: http://www-mtl.mit.edu/~mspaeth/files/GalagaHS/ -- Mark Spaeth mspaeth@mtl.mit.edu 50 Vassar St., #38.265 mspaeth@mit.edu Cambridge, MA 02139 (617) 452-2354 http://rgvac.978.org/~mspaeth
