Thanks to the ZVG, and all the repro parts that have been recently made, I was able to slap this together and play a little Quantum.

Hardware is a Zektor Vector Generator board (ZVG), a Wells Gardner 6100 vector monitor, Gravitar cabinet, a laptop running vectorMAME for windows and an Optiwiz for the trackball interface. The PC automatically boots to the one game on power up, no menu.

 
Very awesome.

Although, I'm a bit disspointed that you didn't draw a huge cack and bolls.

Thanks Dan,

I am having a blast with this game as well. At 95K so far. The levels beyond 14 are brutal. I will hit that 100K soon! Keeping Corky away from it for now so I can hold a high score for a while.

I am still amazed that I was able to make a Quantum clone without having any original parts at all. It is so cool that all products were produced by the community. CP, deflection sheild, CPO, marquee, are all home brew products. Thanks guys!

I went a little backwards last night. I was wiring up an ARII to amplify the sound to the original speakers instead of just having the laptop blaring away from inside the cab. I lost sound after accidently letting some DC get to the audio out on the laptop. Hopefully it was just the I/O board on the laptop (a 3.00 part from ebay). If not, a little usb sound adapter will work fine as well.

If anyone cares or not, when Vectorlabs releases their Quantum PCB, I plan on ditching the PC and ZVG. This works nice, I never have to touch the laptop, but it still bugs me having a PC in a cabinet.
