I have a few MH boards that I am trying to test in a MH --> Tempest conversion. Of the boards, 2 have the quad pokey eliminator and 1 does not. This brings up the question:
1. Is there a difference between a Dedicated MH PCB and a Conversion PCB? (not talking about the conversion board, just the main board itself) And maybe electrically speaking -- I'll get to this later.
2. Does the presense of the quad pokey eliminator mean it is for a dedicated cabinet. Or is it something else? Or does it even matter?
If there is a difference,
3. Can a dedicated board plug into a conversion board and be used in a conversion cabinet (i.e. Tempest)?
So hypothetically speaking,
if one were to plug the board with the quad pokey eliminator in a conversion board and Tempest cabinet and say F4 & F5 blow on the power brick, is this a sign of different boards -- dedicated vs. conversion or more of a board issue.
Not sure what the fuses control just yet but with F4 & F5 blown, the spot killer comes on.
So, any answers, ideas, smacks across the face?
