Does anyone know if Pepper II, Mousetrap, and Venture have the same pinouts more or less (obviously controls would be different).

Can any of these boards be tested in other machines?
 
pepper II venture and hard hat have the same pin but venture has player 1 and player 2 start buttons that the others do not. I'm not 100% sure about mouse trap but I believe it may be swappable in the other cabs. From memory Targ is mostly the same pin out but the others games have an extra voltage that Targ does not use so that pin would probably have to be disabled to allow Targ to safely work.

I have a Targ/Spectar PCB that came with a cap literally burned off the sound board near the edge connector, so that might explain what had happened to it.
 
I can 100% confirm that Venture, PII, and MT work off of the same harness. I regularly swap these boardsets in my Venture upright, and they work fine. You just need to build a quick add-on adapter if you want to accommodate the extra buttons in MT (to make it playable).

What I would like to know that I never could find out definitely: Does Fax use the same pinouts (i.e. could I plug a Fax board into my Venture)? The Fax board looks a lot like a Venture/MT/PII boardset at least...

Anyone know?
