0.37b10 [Mike Coates, Malcolm Lear]


WIP:

- 0.134u1: Couriersud hooked up 393Hz signal to "dac3". The board most probably has discrete circuits. The 393Hz tone used for ball collisions is just a guess.

- 0.123u1: Removed button 2.

- 0.37b16: Changed description of clone Rev.1 to 'Video Eight Ball (Rev.1)'.

- 0.37b10: Mike Coates added 'Video Eight Ball' (Century 1982) and clone (Rev.1).

- 14th November 2000: Mike Coates submitted the Century Video System driver written by him and Malcolm Lear, supporting Hunchback, Hero, Hunchback Olympic, Cosmos, Dark Warrior, Video Eight Ball, Logger, Dazzler, Wall Street, Radar Zone, Gold Bug and Superbike.
