Re: Megatouch™ XL CD-ROM to Hard Drive Hardware

Requirements

The XL CD-ROM to Hard Drive manual lists hardware requirements on the last page of the
manual.  When converting your Megatouch™ XL game from CD-ROM to Hard Drive, you must be
operating at the XL6000 or Gold software level.  If your game is not currently at this level you will
need to upgrade the RAM and video RAM in your game, but you will not have to replace the 

boot

EPROM

 as the manual stated.  This only applies to the XL CD-ROM to Hard Drive conversion.

The last page of the manual should read as follows:

If your Megatouch™ XL game is not currently running Megatouch™ XL 6000 or
Megatouch™ XL GOLD software, you will need to upgrade the RAM and video
RAM in your game.  Merit Industries offers the necessary hardware for this
upgrade through the Megatouch Memory Upgrade Kit (KUV-107-027-01).
Contact your distributor to purchase this hardware upgrade kit.
