settings. If you have any further questions, please refer to page 7 in your

s.o.s.
I am trying to locate the board schematics to an electronic pinball
called "Spirit of '76". This game, believed to be the first electronic
microprocessor-based pinball machine, was manufactured by Mirco,
Inc. It is a one-board system designed around the 6800 Micro.
I would be greatly appreciative if anyone could refer me to a
prospective source for this information since Mirco is no longer in
operation .
