Still very cool. I don't regret getting all those Berzerk boards though....running original hardware is still Nr.1 in my book, but this is a brilliant alternative for empty-shell cabs like my Joust was and my Q*bert still is.....

hm...very interesting. Connection problems keep occuring in our Berzerk...

Really ? Did you ever get one of those SCSI cables to fix that ?

You need the one's with 8 connectors and you'll need two of them. Cut them up so you have as many pieces of ribbons with 2 connectors on each end. You'll have 2 extra pins on one side and will have to "arrange" the connectors to be lined-up correctly, but it does work great.

The only connectors you can't do this way or the smaller one's with less connections.

That's just the perfect solution for my hacked Berzerk, thanks for the tip, I will keep you guys updated.
