>> So... that 8-track tape needs to be found, too.

Fortunately the 8 track tape for Fonz isn't as critical compared to something such as Kee Games Quiz Show whereas the tapes for Quiz Show are actual important part of the game's operation...without them Quiz Show doesn't run...(more further down)

Thanks to recent donations we got the tapes for Kee/Atari's Quiz Show.

Andy Welburn is going to dump them for us later this year (we got the original version and Rev.A) and he also has some board sets of it so he is going to dump the missing chip so the driver can be completed. -
For Quiz Show, I believe some roms data in current driver need to be re-checked again and verified to be correct. As for tapes, there has to be some method to handle reading out the data and being able to find out which type of tape data format is being used in order to update QuizShow driver to be able to read in the data format that the 8 track tape uses. A long ways to go before Quiz Show can be made playable.
