HELP.... I have some boxed SNES and SEGA transfer boards to jamma ???
(IE: to allow you to use a SNES or GENESIS console on a arcade
machine)

However I am unable to find any information on these, Could someone
point me in the direction of a good web site that covers these.

Dave....

Well, I hate to take over this thread with my story, but since some have
asked....
Here are some more pics of the JAMMA SNES:

I bought this cabinet at an arcade auction (dead) for $10 hoping the monitor
worked:

I open it up and it has this JAMMA SNES in it with an NBA JAM cart in it. I
get it home and plug it into another JAMMA cab and it works! Pretty cool.
Turns out the PS in the cab was shot. Swapped them and it all worked fine.
The monitor works and has NO burnin! (the monitor is now in my Tapper). I
thought about keeping it and buying a bunch of fun, cheap SNES games for it
but decided against it. I ended up selling the JAMMA/SNES on ebay for ~$125.
I used that money to get a one slot Neo-Geo. I spent a few more bucks and
converted that cabinet to a NICE dedicated Neo.

I ended up trading the Neo (which I had spent about $175 total on for a
Metal Slug cart and all the art/parts) one-for-one for a NICE Discs of Tron
which I still have:

Someday I'll get my site vback up with all the pics :)
