    ipdb.notes
    The CPU is functionally almost identical to the AS-2518-17 that was used in production games. However, this board does not use the 5101 CMOS RAM for backup memory, or utilize the same pinout configuration on the J1-J4 plugs. Also, the 6800 is clocked at almost 2x what production -17 boards used. We had previously indicated a quantity of 22 electro-mechanical games were modified as a test of Solid State design. Ian MacDonald, the son of Bally engineer Doug MacDonald who was involved in these conversions, told us his father remembered building 17 units, although he thought it possible that other people there could have built or converted additional machines using spare parts. The boards for the machine were designed by Doug. His initials, the letters d and b, are etched into them in a back to back fashion similar to "db", and may be hard to see, Ian said.
