"VERSION 1" TERMINOLOGY ADOPTED FOR EARLY DRAGON'S LAIR PCB -
The first Dragon's Lair main PCB has no revision marking on it, and we at
D-L-P.com have realized that the only reason we, the
laserdisc gaming community, have been referring to this PCB as "revision A" is because its
schematic drawing is revision A. But the revision of the drawing is irrelevant. (The
schematic for the PCB marked revision C is drawing revision K.) It's more likely that
PCB revisions A and B were unreleased developmental steps towards adding support for the
LD-V1000 laserdisc player and solving problems with the
4Mhz clock. We have updated this website to change all mentions of a "revision A"
(Rev. A) PCB to a "version 1" (v1) PCB for technical accuracy. The three known USA
Dragon's Lair / Space Ace
PCBs: version 1, version 1 revision C, and version 2 revision A, per
their on-board markings, are pictured in the
Virtual Library.
