Yeah, I remember one of those discussions. I was all psyched to stick a ROM in my 6-switch Video Arcade, only to find that there was no place to put it. But it does have speaker grilles (2) in the top. I think 2.5" speakers would fit, but I never tried it. Dunno about an LED. I have since acquired a 6-switch Atari, but I forgot all about the ROM slot. I'll have to check. -Chris -- Archives available at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ E-mail UNSUBSCRIBE in the body to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx to be removed.
