System 3 MPU - WITHOUT Reset Modification

If you have an “original” System 3 board that has not been modified to include the reset circuit improvement then you will need to supply+12VDCtopin9onI-J-2(bluewireinphotobelow).Thecommonofthe+12Vsupplymustbeconnectedtothecommonofthe+5Vsupply.Thismay be accomplished by connecting the +12V common to pin 3 on 1-J-2 (blackwire inphotobelow).


System 3 MPU - WITH Reset Modification

If you have an upgraded System 3 board (i.e., upgraded to include the reset circuit improvement) then you do not need to do anything with the reset circuit.

System 4 MPU

If you have a System 4 board then you do not need to do anything with the reset circuit

This indicates that theMPUhas (most likely) successfully booted the test program.Next the 2diagnostic LEDs flashONandOFF threemore times. This is confirmation that the testprogram is, infact, running. Because this test fixture is a TEST ROM based unit, anMPU that is at least healthyenoughtoloadaprogramisrequired.Atthispointthefollowingtestsequenceshouldberunning:

o Anote about the Special Solenoids: The Special Solenoids are intended to betriggered directly by switches on the playfield during normal game play. This“hard wired” design was implemented because the MPU was considered tooslow for time sensitive activities like pop bumpers. Nonetheless, Williamsincluded the ability to control the Special Solenoids via theMPU. AccordinglytheSpecialSolenoidshavetheabilitytobefiredbyeitheraswitchclosureortheMPU.TheTestROM’sautomaticcyclingoftheSpecialSolenoidLEDsistestingMPUcontrol of the Special Solenoids. Remember, few (if any) games actuallyreliedon theMPU to control the firingof the Special Solenoidsduringnormalgame play. As such, even if the MPU fails to properly control the SpecialSolenoidsthegamemayplaycorrectly. SwitchcontroloftheSpecialSolenoidswillbetestedlaterusingtheSpecialSolenoidSelectorSwitch.
