I was looking at a Star Wars boardset today. I'm trying to figure out if it has a hobbyist Empire Strikes Back conversion on it, or some sort of SW/ESB multigame hack. I'm guessing multigame since it has a remote pushbutton wired in to the boards. There are jumper wires running all over the place, on boards and between boards. On the CPU board, there is a small daughtercard. On it is:
"Red Five, Standing-By!"
ESB Conversion PCB 1.1
John W. Linville 3/14/97

I've attached a pic of the daughtercard.

I'm sure that a rgvac search would turn up relevant info, but Google seems to have broken it. #sigh#

Anybody know the history of this hack?

Looks like a copy of the atari kit, using Cliff Koch's slapstick -> GAL22v10 hack.

Board looks to have been made by AP Circuits... I think several people made that hack using Cliff's info before Clay ran the first SW/ESB kits.
