Then there's the CityOfBerwyn archive: <http://www.cityofberwyn.com/schematics/index.htm> (search for "Asteroids") which has scanned, stitched TIFFs of all four schematic sheets *and* the Binary Rate Multiplier Bodge-Board, at an eye-wateringly high resolution. Lastly, there's Andy's Arcade, which has (colour?!) PDF scans: <http://andysarcade.de/asteroids.html> If you're planning on meddling with the Digital Vector Generator, read Jed Margolin's two articles on vector systems -- Secret Lives of XY Monitors, and Secret Lives of Vector Generators. My "Hitch-Hacker's Guide to the Atari Digital Vector Generator" might also be of some interest to you -- that's on my website under "Electronics". I've even got a Verilog implementation of the DVG logic and state machine, though it's never been tested in an FPGA. I'll put it online if anyone wants to take a peek (be warned: the code is Messy, Evil and was implicated -- though not formally charged -- in a case where a man was driven insane by its sheer messiness. You Have Been Warned.) Oh, then there's the CRT X-Y display I half-built but shelved a while ago (I shorted over one of the power buses and since then the trace has been very jittery). That's due for a bit of documentation-and-redesign work... -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
