Title: Hack Original Tron Spinner to Minipac or Mouse?
Post by: markrvp on April 14, 2005, 02:30:49 pm

I have an original Tron spinner that I would like to connect to a minipac (prefer) or mousehack.

The easiest way is to order an optic card and mouse hack from Oscar.
Just make sure to tell him what you plan to do with it, since he has two different styles of optic card.

I have a tron spinner that I hacked to work with mame.  I used an optic board from happs. (this was before oscar had them) I'm sure either will work prolly just go with whichever is cheaper.  (which i'm guessing is oscar)

Or if you really want to keep the original card, e-mail Andy at Ultimarc.  He may know off the top of his head whether the original optics are compatible or not, and how to hook them up if they are.

I'll e-mail Andy.  I'm not partial to the board; I just thought if I could hack it, it would be one less thing to order. 

Hard to believe this stuff is a quarter of a century old.
