Re: ZVG Experience - Proper place to post?

I also have DOS vectorMAME running with a ZVG in a Gravitar cabinet. I used
a SBlive card outputting to the Atari ARII amplifier. I figured if you have
to have the vector brick to power the 6100, might as well use it for the
ARII and coin door lights as well. A PS/2 Optiwiz is used for the trackball
interface, pc is a P4 2.8ghz.

I tried the windows version and Linux, neither of which are ready for prime
time. Windows is a flickery bastard, and Linux ran way too slow.
