Excuse my ignorance...
beerbarrel:
But, how do I tell a jamma cab?

Zeno:
The quickest way is to look up the cabinet on KLOV if you are unsure.
Basic Rules...
Jamma's have 56 pins, so anything less is non-jamma.
Most older games are non-jamma (ex: Pacman, DK, Frogger)
There are lots of other ways to tell. Check out this link for Jamma FAQ's...

That's a big question, and may need a bit more input from you, I feel.
Over to the pros ....
ChadTower:
It should also be noted that JAMMA really has no relationship to the cabinet other than coincedental. JAMMA is a wiring standard and refers to the wiring inside the cabinet. A cabinet that is known to be originally JAMMA is likely to still be JAMMA but may not be - and likewise a classic cab could have been converted to JAMMA at any point.
The only way to be completely sure is to look at the wiring harness.
shardian:
Another clue is that non-jamma games usually have more than 1 connector or boards.
