Quoted from markmon:

The power driver boards are not stable in TZ or sttng - those games reset with them. I've experienced this several times over the years.

This is kind of funny because I used a RD PDB only in my TZ and my STTNG while the original boards were out for servicing.
Being lazy it stayed in TZ for almost a year and in STTNG for at least 8 months.

While i never had any resets or other major problems, both games showed massive ghosting with the insert LEDs (the "good ones" = "non-ghosting" LEDs) using the RD PDB. After changing back to the original boards ghosting was completely gone again. It's hard to describe, but in my lack of technical expertise the Rottendog board feels as if it slightly "overpowers" the games.
