Quoted from JafCo:When analyzing the SPIKE acronym, don't discard extreme possibilities. Don't forget that SPI is descended directly from the folks that brought us the TYFFASI flipper control board.
It's like the FTS-8. http://www.dkpinball.com/DKWP/?page_id=396
And no, the F does not stand for Forget.
Quoted from flashinstinct:According to gamespot the new system took out the 20 pounds power supply and replaced it with a 5 lbs alternate. A lot less wiring estimated 2 pounds, less boards 10 pounds, no metal apron 3 pounds.
So that's at least a 40 pounds savings at a minimum comparing to let's say early 2000 era stern games.
Wow. That is actually a very big deal!
