From the project

Reverse engineering the original Colecovision video game console.

details: Reverse engineer original PCB to create a schematic and functional replacment board. This only includes the NTSC system.

This recreation of the PCB is for documenation, and reproduction purposes. This mimicks the PCB of the original NTSC revision F main board.

Special thanks to ChildOfCV. Using his as a check for mine after buzzing out my own board was a great help. His schematic on its own is a great resource.
