Hi... new to the board and this is my first post...I recently purchased a very clean ATARI 1982 DIG DUG arcade machine in good working order. While trying to research the PCB I found out there were at least two versions of the PCB. One of which has an extra row of vertical chips at the rear of the board. Mine does NOT have those on it. Anyway... does anyone know if the dip switch setting are the same for either PCB? Im just trying to learn what I can about this machine. Mostly because I want to pick up a spare PCB to have as a back up want to know if it matters if I buy the PCB with the extra vertical chips is it compatible with my machine or do I need to find the exact style PCB I have now. Thanks. Michael

Dip switches should be the same.

I searched Youtube and came across this video. If you watch it they say different. This is a bit confusing.

if Todd from TNT say it's different, I'll take his side 100%.
Find some manuals online for both revision. Also it's been awhile for me but run MAME for both revision and check the settings or maybe take a look at the source code.

I am sure Todd is right. I was going by what I already knew as an owner and by the fact that board revisions usually didn't have different dip settings.
