it has a power supply that powers a happ power adapter box, which then powers the board.  but I disconnected the happ power adapter because I don't want power running through the jamma harness because I'm hooking that up to a jpac.  Without the board hooked up I don't think the power supply will power anything else, least that seems to be the case because I tried it and got nothing.  
so I'm thinking I need to splice power from the ISO out to ac wall plug and attach the ground to the metal part of the ISO?   thanks for any help.
