There is a new and improved interface to the VCR for field test games. (The old interface had the Game emulate the remote control by driving an LED.) At Tims suggestion, and Minhs implementation the new interface is much easier to use. It only required one latched output from the game. A LO out means record. A HI out means stop. Power on is taken care of automatically, without programmer intervention. If the connector to the VCR is disconnected, then the normal VCR buttons and remote control work properly. One VCR has been modified to accomodate this. The other two (am I right that there are three VCRs) will hopefully be done soon. If you are going to use this interface, please let the tech. know as soon as possible, as it will take time to prepare the VCRs the first time. (A small PCB needs to be installed into the VCR). Pat.
