+Donkey Kong Notes
+=================
+
+ Nintendo Service Department Bulletin # TKG-02 12-11-81
+ GAME: Donkey Kong
+ SUBJECT: Speed-up Kit #1
+
+ TO prevent extremely long play times, we are making available
+ a speed-up kit. This kit prevents players from waiting on top
+ of ladders, on screen #1, while the barrels roll across
+ instead of coming donw on top of him. Whit this kit, barrels
+ will roll on top of the player on a ladder 70 to 80 percent of
+ the time.
+
+ Machines above serial #30,000 will have this kit installed at
+ the factory, and all TKG4 board sets will come with this kit.
+
+ To install this kit in a four-board set, follow these
+ instructions:
+
+ 1) Remove P.C. Boards from game, leaving them
+ attached to P.C. Board bracket.
+
+ 2) Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, separate the
+ sound P.C. Board fromt he CPU P.C. Board, exposing
+ the entire surface of the CPU Board.
+
+ 3) Remove the EPROMS's at location 5F, 5A, 5H and 5K
+ from the CPU Board. (Note 5A should read 5G - MSH)
+
+ 4) Install the speed-up kit EPROM's in the corres-
+ ponding locations.
+
+ 5) Reconnect the sound P.C. Board to the CPU P.C.
+ Board and mount the P.C. Boards in the game.
+ --------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ That kit included the following 4 EPROM's
+
+ USA (c) 1981 Nintendo of America set

+ Not only did the eprom fix the ladder bug, but it also changed
+ the copyright screen to read "(C)1981 Nintendo of America".
