Re: [ukvac] Battlezone TECH & Meet
Just wondering... how do you know the AUX bd is ok if the Main board is
knackered?
If you get cross-hatch, this would indicate that there is not a lot wrong
with the vec-gen side of things...!

Just took it for repair. It seems main board is knackered. Aux board and
ARII are ok
Obviously 6 months in an antistatic bag didn't do it any good after it was
repaired
Next time I shall try and get a maching up and running as soon as I get
all the parts back for it rather than leaving it.
Had a few replies back from people about the meet. I haven't a clue about
timescale but was thinking about a Sat/Sun meet. If I ship the kids off
etc there are 4 bedrooms for people to slum in, plenty of car parking
space and plenty of room for people.
There is a separate room witth the arcade/pinballs in and if you are a big
kid then there is a play room with a PS2, Gamecube and dreamcast in. ( How
come when I was growing up we had one TV for the whole family and now my
kids have 3 TVs for their games and a widescreen TV in both their bedrooms
- something wrong there!!!)
Can get the table in the kitchen etc set up for the Techie/anoraks to pour
over board repairs.(I'll even try and get my desoldering station up and
running)
Could get a meal at the local pub or organise something. We could go for a
traditional valleys night out which would include a massive fight at the
end of the night in the kebab shop.
