Anyone-

I'm working on getting a set of boards for GTI Club up to functional and hope there's someone out there to help. I've got a dual set of GTI Club boards (that's a sandwich of 4 boards or so!) that is part of a large Konami motion platform (think: 2 person, 5DOF cockpit -- http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=2889&image=1). Unfortunately, someone who had it before me physically injured one of the boards, bending legs on the custom graphics chip (the K001005 I believe) and destroying it's interface to the surrounding rams. I can get the whole sandwich to go into diagnostics, and while most things pass I get ram errors (at the place where the pins from the graphics chip are bad) and a network error (haven't figured that out yet). SO - I'm in a bind and was looking for some help -- if you:

A) Have knowledge of the boards or system, or
B) Have access to similar boards (ZR107 system - GTI Club, Road Rage, etc), or
C) Know where I can get replacement chips (Betson doesn't have them listed), or
D) Know much about the giant cockpit system, or
E) Have any schematics for the GTI Club or ZR107 board system

Please let me know. I'm at konami aT quantumsignal DOT com or post here!

Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Mitch
 
There is clearly overlap between two

Appreciate the response. If you take a look at the ZR107 video board (http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=875) you'll see the bottom board of the sandwich shown on the GTI Club page. I know this boardset is running GTI Club code (the self test lists as GTI Club v1.02, there is a GTI Club sticker on side of simulator, etc), and there must be great similarities between the GTI Club hardware and Speed King/Road Rage. I'm almost willing to bet they are overall the same hardware series and System16 doesn't quite have them linked properly (yet)...

...alternately, it is possible that the hardware is a little different but close enough where someone tweaked the GTI Club code to run on the ZR107 system.

In any case, I'm still hoping someone out there knows something! :) HELP!
