Do they work for any MCR game or just for Tron?
What does the cable 'head' look like? 1 row or 2 rows? 24 pins or 25?
The cables are for 1 row x 24 pins. TRON uses 5 sets but I am not sure about
other MCR games. You will need to look at your boards to make sure.

Ugh... IDCs? don't people ever learn lessons from the past =-P
My thoughts exactly. If you're going to have new cables made why the hell would you choose IDC?

Gee let me think, how about this, every cable used in any computer or electronic
device are either crimped or IDC. Ribbon cables, terminals, ALL cables.
I guess they do that because they are unreliable.
Here's some good reading for you:

An excerpt:
[SIZE=-1]"...the advantage to IDC connectors is that assembly time is dramatically reduced, decreases cost. This is why most pinball manufacturers used this (crappy!) style of connector termination originally. IDC connectos are not used for reliability, they are used to decrease assembly cost. Hence as a replacement, this style connector should be avoided."[/SIZE]
Ribbon cables have strain reliefs and backplates to keep the wires from popping out...
Those have neither. you can see just from the pics that the wires are under strain.
I also like how you're pretending those are 1x24 connectors when they're quite obviously 3x1x8.
Give me SCSIs any day.
People use IDC because they're CHEAP and just good enough to out-last a warranty.
