Does anyone know of a place that has downloadable schematics or pictures of the jamma pinouts for non-jamma games?

For example:

Dig-Dug
Frogger
Galaga


I'm building some of these: http://homearcade.org/BBBB/adaptors.html

Is there a better option than this for the jamma connector itself? For soldering directly to the fingerboard.

Do you have a need for the 56pin edge connectors? The Dig Dug & Galaga you mentioned would take 44pin edge connectors. The fingerboard is what will provide the 56 location edge for your Jamma harness.

Thank you for catching that. Silly of me to think they were all 56-pin standard.
