Yes, it's cool how he managed to interpret what I said on the wlms list a
few days ago about using EPROMs for switch mapping.

You can just as easily force an input high or low for a specific game using
the eproms. This would force a specific set of options for each game unless
you used a bigger eprom to map some extra inputs from some option switches.

Another note: The attract mode on Speed Freak doesn't do a damn thing. It
just sits there cruising along a straight road. Unless you actually SEE
some effect when it is "resetting" then it's just fine.

BTW Steve, I still need the cable from mother board to monitor in order to
do anything. I managed to get all the molex stuff at radio-wack but still
need to make some cables :-)
