Picked up another one with some motivation from those who are better at troubleshooting this board than I am. I'm really enjoying this learning process (despite that 20EZ being extremely rude to me).  When I picked it up the guy said it came on with some error message and the monitor worked. I haven't turned it on yet since it was in his below freezing garage and now it's in my below freezing garage until the snow melts.  The board is out and will get tested soon hopefully.

that looks like a cool project! congrats.   Cheesy
I need to get me one of these eventually

Pole Position can be a hard game to keep working but it is so worth it, but if nothing else there is the new clone board coming for it.

Pole position is one of the hardest games to keep running..
I tied it with Battlezone and Berserk.

I really feel like for the home environment it isn't that hard to keep running at all. Once you get it running that is. People overblow this game's reliability.

Ram 73 Error (as well as 126, 127, and 40)




Bad Z80 socket with corroded pins...that fell off when touched  Undecided




Turns out it was a bad 40-pin Z80 socket. Corroded pins, pins that fell out when we removed it. Now to try and get it in the house so I can test the board in the cabinet!
