The I,Robot converted to TOKI showed up yesterday. Sale and delivery worked out fine, no problems. Its going to be a work in progress. Im sure I will end up sitting on this for years to come finding parts to finish it off. Right now its jamma wired, so maybe sell TOKI pcb, rotate the monitor and 60-1 it?
P.S.
If anyone has parts to restore it shoot me a PM

thanks

Ray

Nice find... but you're never going to find a boardset for that thing. I, Robot boards weren't very reliable anyway.

This is one of those applications where you should MAME it. Use the original monitor, interface the original controls, and use MAME on a PC running just I,Robot. Should be able to use some used P4 board, a compact flash card instead of a hard disk, etc. You can make it so it boots straight into I, Robot with no menu or other crap in the way.
