Re: Preliminary MultiSega MultiSpeech/Sound

Speaking from a purist perspective, it's beneficial to replace a 30 year old board and components with something that is current, for the lifespan of the components alone, and offer it in the original cabinet. My idea is to replace the antique massive pcb with current technology alone. I'm sure the 5000 in 1 arcade cabinet has a following with having 5000 buttons, however it'd be great to just replace failing technology with bulletproof. Is it possible to limit the scope to just replacing the one board with one current technology board without having to offer a multiple in one cabinet? I know I'm old school and all but it'd just be nice to replace these failing antique boards with something that may last another 30 years. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when spending $150 to repair a 30 year old board lasts 6 months until the next component fails. My suggestion is one cabinet, one board if possible. The audience is there to add to the board count, but make it optional.

The release is scheduled for August.

Actually I also have Star Trek upright and Cockpit so these will be the first two
targeted for the new board.

  I assume this means we will have to junk Clays multi SEGA board.
