General Information
I don't know much about the Cidelsa except that it is suppose to have been an arcade machine mainly sold in Spain. The Cidelsa was available in at least 4 variants/games: Altair, Destroyer set 1 and set 2 and Draco. The CDP1869/CDP1876 was also used in a bit different way then the COMX, Telmac TMC-600 and Pecom 64 computers in that the screen was put 'on its side' making the height longer than the width. The Cidelsa running the Draco game included a second processor the COP400, this chip was used to control the AY-3-8910 sound chip. The COP400 and AY-3-8910 are NOT supported in my emulator.
