Curious, when did you buy your board? I'm wondering if maybe they got their act together and possibly might be decent quality now.

Jeff AMN:
I got the board maybe a year ago.

I have a Power Driver Board in my TAF from Rottendog and never had an issue.

I have the dual sys 3-6 williams cpu/driver roottendog board in my Alien Poker.  I had an issue where the switch matrix went crazy.  I talked to Jim and sent him my board.  He fixed it and sent it back and I never have had a problem since.  He didn't charge me, I just had to pay shipping to him which was about $7.

I'm curious as to what machines this board is not 100% compatible with and what exactly are the incompatibilities.

Buying a new PCB to avoid replacing a connector pin is really, really overkill.

+1

I would go a step further and put some quick disconnects instead of the wire nuts.  Otherwise, same thing.  Fix the board, don't replace it.
