Barely listed. It was listed in old game lists as you would see at The Wiretap Arcade Bronze Age Archive, which sourced info from places like flyers, old arcade industry newsletters and magazines (like The Golden Age Arcade Historian likes to cite frequently) and old USENET posts. (But no citations, so we don't know where the old game lists heard of it.)
Such as:

http://www.coinop.org/kb_dl.aspx/KB/gametech/listbyyear.txt
http://www.coinop.org/Game/101868/Knockout
Due to this, it also was listed at Discrete Logistics:
http://discrete.mameworld.info/
and mentioned on SlyDC's Volly page: http://www.ccjvq.com/slydc/topic/volly/volly.htm

But yeah, I always suspected it was confused with Digital Games' game too

Well, that's my plan too, even if etabeta doesn't find the time, but I am also really busy too.

I wouldn't rule Andy's ability to do this out, I believe he can trace schematics - mainly just lack of time, with other things his priority.
