A few Centipede questions, if anyone can help out with them...
After reading around a bit, it appears that there were several revisions of the centipede PCB. Does anyone know if these are documented anywhere? It sounds like these were all relatively minor changes in layout and components used, but I haven't seen much detail on the differences. Also, it sounds like the model number on the board is the same between them, perhaps differing by a handwritten number at the end. Is there any easy way to distinguish which board rev is which?
Also, there appear to be at least 7 printings of the manuals + schematics. Were the schematics ever updated for the different board revs and does any particular printing of the docs go with any particular revision?
Lastly, I think there were 4 different rom revisions, but it sounds like they all work with all the different boards, as long as all of the same revision of rom is used together. Is this correct?
