Does anyone have any information on the Arcade Board, from Third Millenium Engineering? I'd like to find the manual and software, as well as any other information such as reviews, any software written to take advantage of it, a box scan, etc. I've put a picture of the board and a link to one review that I've found on Apple2Info.Net, at: http://apple2info.net/hardware/arcadeboard/arcadeboard.htm Thanks in advance,
I've emailed you the AMPARCADE Demo disk, which contains the AMPARCADE software. I don't have documentation for this ampersand package, but there are a bunch of demo programs on the (DOS 3.3) disk which provide examples of its use. Reverse-engineering the ampersand package would reveal all the commands supported. This package is implemented with JSR's to single-instruction LDA/STA routines that access the 9918A in I/O space, so it would be relatively easy to retarget it for other 9918A cards. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
