MEGAPLUS II GAME ADAPTER PROBLEM
In the revisions listed below of the MegaPlus II, the location of
a crystal is in conflict with securing the game adapter piggyback
board.
REV AO
REV C
REV D
REV E
Normally, the game adapter is plugged into a 62-pin connector on
the MegaPlus II board, then fastened at the top via a
standoff.
This conflict will require the user to remove the standoff, or
"stud", that fastens the game adapter to the MegaPlus II. The
two boards, therefore, being fastened at the 62 pin connector
only. Tests show this is a plausible solution.
The revision ID is located at the leftmost end of the board near
the center.
