Dear all, I'm obviously in the minority here. My signatures don't match the Atari guides using the CAT box. Granted, i get the same signatures for the mathbox on the vector games but for the rest of the board i get completely different signatures. I've already knocked up a couple of my guides. Could someone volunteer to try them out for me. It probably shouldn't take more than 30 minutes per board. Jess has kindly offered to host them on his site so i'd like someone just to give them the once over. The guides are based on the Atari guides but i used an HP5004A and my handmade NOP card. If anyone can help me out then i'd appreciate it.

Every time I've used my HP 5006, the signatures have matched the Atari documentation.

Ok, thanks. I guess it really is the right one to go after. Is it true that the it reports the same signature as a cat box? I've heard two different stories, so I wasn't sure what to believe :)

Thanks again

As far as I know - any signature analyzer should do fine. The HP 5004A has the most documentation available online as far as troubleshooting video game boards.

I bought the HP 5004a for $100 although you may see it for slightly less on ebay. I got mine simply because most of the documentation on using the Cinematronics exorsizor mentions this particular model.

Just my 2 cents.

I have decided that I should get a Sig. Analyzer. What is the one to get? I keep seeing people talk about the HP 5004A, is that was I should be targeting? I'm sorry if this has been discussed to death already, I just now finally joined this list. Also, what should I expect to pay for one?

Thanks, Jon
