I"m trying to put together an Asteroids test rig, I have an Atari power brick, no numbers, and no Atari numbers on the friggin transformer. I have scrapped an Asteroids and Space Duel cabs in the past so this came from one of those, question is, which one??? Any way to figure it out?

Also from the (opaque) bits and pieces I gathered, I read that Mark had a doc detailing converting a color vector brick to b&w, which I'm sure is just re-pinning the 15 pin connector (I think), but does anyone have details??

Last but not least, I have a few ArIIs laying around, can I use one of those in place of the ARI the Asteroids uses?

According to Bob Roberts:
But for the physical size the A/R II-01 can be used in place of an A/R bd & that prompted many an op to saw the unused portion of the A/R II-01 bd completely off to accommodate their Asteroids or Football games. Some even cut down the A/R II-02 which can be used in place of any of the A/R or A/R II-xx versions.

Thanks! It appears I have a asteroids power brick, and an arii that would suffice in place of an AR1. At this point I think I have the makings of a test rig (ie - the entire game zip tied to itself as neatly as possible).
