If I remember correctly, John is a crack wiz with Ping boards (Am I right? Memory is vague on this one). Figure I’d try something a little different in the mean time and look at a couple of non-CPU based boards J I’ve got the schems (no manual), so wanted to ask a few general questions. I’ve included the pinout that I have below for reference. I believe it to be the correct one.

1) I’m guessing that I can just drive the board off of +5 and gnd and ignore the xformer. Looking at the schems (they are *very* fuzzy in the version I’m looking at), that looks to be it. Guess I’m half thinking aloud here…

2) Monitor. I see a composite sync line on the schems, but note explicitly documented in the wire diagram. But I’m guessing that you can just pick a color (or tie all three together) and just run it into a normal monitor.

3) Antenna? FCC regulation or something? Interesting.   

4) Any other “gotchas”? I was going to start playing around with it tonight during MNF. I do have a Pong on hand right now, so I can also peek inside. Just much easier to run the thing on my bench.
