Dig Dug Euro control panel overlays
A new machine came our way a few months back. A Dig Dug upright in the Ireland built European style cabinet. It needs some new artwork for the control panel so if you’re interested in the project to create some repro artwork then please click below to read the rest of this entry!

Cab changes
27/05/08 in: Website
The Aero city is now sold so it moves to the "Past games" section, although it is strictly speaking still here awaiting collection. Taking it's place is a nice Taito Egret 2 so I will probably add some pictures of that some time soon. In fact, the machines are all a bit out of date. Cosmic Alien has been missing from the current games section all along for some reason, plus there's also a Woody Woodpecker pachinko to add as well. Maybe I'll get some time soon to bring things up to date.
Zaccaria Invaders Freeplay
11/05/08 in: Website
A new page has been added with a software modification to add a freeplay mode to the Zaccaria version of Space Invaders (called "The Invaders"). This machine was prolific throughout the UK and Europe around 1980 and well beyond. The page has been added to the "Misc Stuff" section of the site.
9100 Adapter update
Okay, as promised, v1.1 of the 9100 keyboard adapter is here. Quite a lot has changed in this version so please read through the project page thoroughly. New in this version is a new USA keyboard layout, circuit compatibility with in-circuit programming and debugging and, in order to facilitate this, the PIC has changed (although I have maintained circuit compatibility with the old one).

9100 Keyboard adapter progress
v1.1 is on the way...
Just for anyone that's keeping an eye out for this, the source code has been recovered / rebuilt and I now have a US key map as well. I've also modified the circuit so the reset line from the 9100 is no longer directly connected to the /MCLR line of the 16F84A. Read More...

Fluke 9100 Keyboard Adapter
After months of inactivity I'm back with an interesting little project for anyone that owns a Fluke 9100 digital test system. I was recently able to get one of these from the US but as with so many of them, although it came with the video card (many don't) there was no sign of it's long lost programmers keyboard. Not to be put off, I set about making an adapter to allow me to use a standard PC keyboard with a 9100 to PS2 interface. Check out all the details in the projects section.
