Williams questions? Ic's, Harnesses & Test Bench Setup.
1) I want to pull the trigger on the most used Williams chips for Stargate, Defender, Robotron ect... ect...
What are those chips??? So I may have a decent stock of them here at home.
Whats the difference between say SN7474N and 74LS74? Will both these work?
When getting the regulators for the linear power supplies would LM723CN work?
2) If I build a test bench just for the older classics can I use 1 harness?
Defender is certainly different.
3) I have a new stargate main harness with both power supplies harnesses. Aka switcher and linear.
Can I use the switcher harness from a stargate with a defender main harness?
No matter what I do I cannot get access to test the ram on my defender with it in the cab. I am seriously considering pulling everything out of the defender and nailing up on the wall. I already have my stargate boards hanging on the wall so this is not a big jump.
I just haven't tried to hookup a test bench for the williams games yet. Figured I would ask some questions in the hopes of heading off some issues.
At this time I only have stargate and defender boards sets to work on here at the house.
Thanks for your time in advance
