Thats looking closer Jim. Change the leds to horizontal mounts so they
shine straight down, & out from under the cart, add the gnd, 5v, +12
and -12 connections for psu and it should be about ready to test. How
about a 4 wide dip switch to set the powerup default slot?
Re the slot selector, I'm not a game guy so even a teeny 3/8" diameter
rotary would do for me, but gamers would wear that out quickly.
