    Will put in two cents for P-ROC - the number of projects already out there and the robustness of the platform has some history behind it. Lots of documentation for just about anything related as well as P-ROC has been used in professional applications. Fast is also looking great - different platform with its own set of pros. Probably can't go wrong with either but for now P-ROC has a leg up based on what I and a couple others have mentioned.

    Quoted from Coyote:

    So, a thought occured to me to ask another possibly silly stupid question -
    I saw that FAST, at least, has interfaces for WPC games (and Sys11, I think, though I can't recall exactly at this time..)..
    What/how could these systems (FAST *or* P-ROC..) be connected to older games, like Classic Bally/Stern or hell, less populous games like Gottlieb?

    You would have to do like Mark S. did and make your own interface board for the system (drivers, lamps) and deal with the display aspect.

    Can't believe I forgot to mention Jim's newer Bally control boards (applejuice here). If you want to do the Stern Meteor thing, that would be a consideration.
