Hi. I've just subscribed to this list after lurking in the archives for some months.

I'm in the Midlands, UK and fix arcade boards in my spare time. I only picked this up about a year ago but like to think I'm a reasonably quick learner. I prefer the earlier era hardware but also work on JAMMA boards.

I'm working on a system to reverse engineer PALs to improve the depth of coverage in MAME and aid future repairs. I'm hoping to end up with a similar

solution to Leopardcats pal-cracker but using a standard EPROM programmer and easy(ish) to use software.

Anyway, I managed to obtain a PDF of the manual for Rohde & Schwarz LAC64 logic analyser which I've uploaded into incoming at flippers.com. It took more than a few pleading emails to R&S but it was worth it! I think it's the only freely available copy and I hope somebody else finds it useful. If anybody knows of the CPU specific pods (LAS-Z14, LAS-Z30) used to disassemble from the data bus I'd appreciate a pointer.

Finally, I've just bought an ABI Boardmaster 4000 and am looking for manuals, firmware and anything of interest. I've got the programming manual from TTL which I'm working through. I'd appreciate any tips or pointers too!

thanks for reading, tim
