Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:Very interesting. When you get this running, I would definitely think it would be a cool write-up to read. The System 11 boardset would seem like a better option in terms of reliability compared to System 9.
The system 9 board is very close to a system 11 board. The sound section is a bit different and the ROM sizes are different.
Actually a system 3-7 board really isnt all that much different than system 9. The driver board is just combined with the MPU. Lamps, switches, solenoids, are all driven in the same way.
