Thanks for the reference, I bookmarked it!

It's been 20 years since I last looked at an Atari 800 schematic, mostly just hacked on the XL series. I seem to recall that the Atari Technical Reference had the schematics for the REV A OS board. The board differed from all later Atari 8 bits in that it used the 6502B with external rather then internal circuitry to get the 6502B to work with a !HALT signal.

The !HALT signal was added because the 6502 design did not lend itself to multiprocessor designs. ANTIC being a video co processor that needed to take over the buss.

As much as I can remember, I think they may have employed a 74LS245 in a similar fashion to isolate the 6502B from the buss. If that is the case it should make it a bit easier for me to tie in the phase 2 clock. If I get really lucky, there may be enough left over logic on the board I can use to get it functional.
