Tron - Coin-Op Videogame Pinout

Return to the game record for Tron

This game has been tagged as belonging to conversion class: Midway MCR II

There is a specific pin-out record on file for Tron:

                                 TRON, Midway 1982
                     -----------------

There is a Filter Assembly and 5 boards not
including the Angle Encoder Board (2 of
them if it's a cocktail):
Power Supply, Dual Amp, Video Gen,
CPU, and Sound I/O (actually, I
believe it's labeled SUPER Sound I/O.
Can you say `WOW!'?).

The only boards you'll actually need
to play the game are the Video Gen, CPU,
and Sound I/O and these are actually
attached in a three board sandwich.
You'll need to make a conversion harness
and find a way to amp the sound, though.



=======================================
VIDEO GEN BOARD (A084-90908-A968)
=======================================

This board has no connectors that go
outside of the 3 board sandwich.  It
only has a couple of connectors for
those 2 thin ribbon cables which run
to the CPU Board.



=======================================
CPU BOARD (A084-91399-A968)
=======================================

This board has 5 connectors for those
thin ribbon cables.  2 go to the Video
Gen Board and 3 go to the SUPER Sound
I/O Board.  Outside of that is:
