Bob Roberts...

I recommend the "Super-Super Jamma Harness Kit" for $30.00
add $3 for the "fully loaded" harness.

Bob is a great guy to deal with.
Really helpful.

I bought a fully loaded one from Bob. For MAME use, it ends up having alot of extra wires you won't use.

A jamma harness is a connector with wires attached right? So fully loaded means EVERY pin on the harness has a wire already attached to it.

Fully loaded or fully stuffed means that the Jamma edge connector (that actually plugs into a Jamma board) has every pin with a wire coming out of it.

I bought my jamma harness from Bob Roberts, also bought one from ultimarc.  I dunno who Andy gets those from but it just seemed very cheap.  Not only that, but it wasn't keyed and there was no labels for it.  On the plus side though it came with the quick disconnects already on the wires.  No instructions at all though, and since I have never done this before I was confused by a couple of the connectors.

The one Bob sends comes keyed and labelled.  All the wires are different and it's extremely easy to tell which is which.  It also seems much more sturdy.  I liked being able to add the quick disconnects and whatnot to it.  Both were about the same price.

In addition to all the things you mention, the "Super-Super Jamma Harness Kit" from bob includes all the Molex connectors and spade connectors for everything too.  It's totally worth it.
