Data Fast EXPm5S RAIDER Program {4)date
By Dennis P. Sable, Technical Manager
Rom.star
Torrance, CA
By Data East Service Dept.
San Jose, CA
Problem: High score table error.
When converting games with older style
Wells Gardner or Electrohome rronitors, the ·
picture may look "washed-out".
Solution: Install program update.
To rerredy this situation, clip and lift
pin 1 of RA4 (Resistor Array 4) near the
edge connector.
Due to a program error in the EXPRESS
RAIDER game, the 2nd player in a two
player contest cannot enter his or her
initials into the high score table when
the game options are set for an upright
cabinet.
If your picture is still a little too
bright, tie pin 1 low (to ground).
l'Ul'E: Pin 1 is the pin that attaches to
the wide 5V trace.

Torn Cahill of Williams Electronics gave a
series of seminars in three major cities
in Ohio. He was in Cleveland, March 18th,
Colunbus, March 19th and Cincinnati, March
20th.
The events were sponsored jointly by
Cleveland Coin, l-k>nroe Distributing, OMAA
and Williams Electronics.
The turnout was fabulous in all three
locations and everyone was glad to see
that so many operators are interested in
attending service seminars. After all, it
has been quite some time since service
seminars were cornronplace in our industry.
