If you are never involved with coin handling or do not intend to use the Stand-alone Audio Board, you can stop reading now. I just changed SACOIN.MAC per a request from the XYBOTS/ROBOX/CATACOMBS crew. The old version counted coins in the first two coin slots on the left counter and coins in the last two slots on the right counter. It seems that X/R/C only uses two mechs, and they are the first two, and Ireland wants two independant counters (regardless of how silly this is for a "Gauntlet type" game which dedicates each mech to a player position). Anyway, the new version puts the EVEN mechs (0 and 2) on the Left and the ODD mechs (1 and 3) on the Right. If you, like most, have just been shorting the counter-drivers together and driving one physical counter, there is no change. If you care, and deeply resent the change, please let me (and your audio person) know. Otherwise this will become the latest in a series of "universal standards". Mike
