Hey Guys, Ok I've been reading the guides and I understand how the signature analysis part works, but I think I'm missing something here. I have a memory map for Red Baron that I want to use see if there is a problem with the AVG pcb but I'm not completely understand how to use it Cat Box and this map. I swear I'm just missing something that is right in front of my face. If anyone could give me a step by step on how you use the memory map with a cat box I would really appreciate it. This goes back to my not being able to understand what I read, I have to see it and then I can understand it . . . ugh Thank you so much guys! -Grant On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 4:51 PM, Phillip Eaton <inbox@phillipeaton.com>wrote:

Wow, 13 years ago I wrote that, didn't know it was still out there. I guess nothing ever dies on the internet. Never did see anyone finish making a homemade Catbox, though there were a few working on them some years ago.

The early 80s Atari manuals and schematics are very good for learning Catbox.

Someday I will put my HP signature analyzer to work and fix that pile of Atari boards I have in storage.

Hey Guys,

I've got an Atari Catbox that I really want to start utilizing to fix various Atari PCBs I have, specifically my Asteroids, Battlezone, Red Baron and Missile Command.

I do have the original user manual for the Catbox, but I was wondering if anyone has ever done a more step by step write up for how to use this awesome device.

If anyone can point me to a guide or just give a quick how-to so I know I'm using this tool correctly that would be fantastic!
