Looks like I found a control panel. Still looking for coin mech. May make a separate post but could use a set of sticks and buttons if someone is looking to get rid of their extras otherwise will pick up new.
Picked up a somewhat sad looking new net city. Monitor is in great shape though and wiring is all there. Looks like someone falcon punched the control panel repeatedly so I am in search of a new control panel insert with/without buttons and coin mech (see pic)
Thanks
Yeah I agree with trying to keep ide drives but would using a IDE to SATA adaptor cause any real harm? Obviously I do not want to harm my namco hardware. I have some spare ssd and wanted to use those if possible.
Reviving old thread. I was wondering if anyone has used a IDE to SATA for hard drive games, taiko specifically. Secondly, would it matter if I put in a SSD versus HHD if this works. My guess was no because of the speed from the motherboard.
