yeah i actually talked to a guy from MN and im just gonna sell it to him on friday i never realized they were worth so much. the problem is when they took it out of the casino they never reset the machine so when the battery got low it rebooted and its trying to connect to the casino to track player points. But thanks for the help and the info!!!!

Paul, do you have any suggestions on something to make that piggyback board make better connection?  I located a replacement board but it doesnt have the tms processor.  Do you think the bad connection comes from the VIG board or the Processor board?

well all the boards and chips seem to be tight,tried birthing chips and same results,turns on goes through the start up screens gets to the bingo card and goes into serial timeout,so do i have a bad board?the ds light only 16-19 turn on,the hard drive seems to be working.So if its a board which 1 would it be?CDS Vig II Main Board/Processor?CDS VIG Motherboard?CDS Accelerator Board? im in over my head on this,i just started messing with slot machines

thegambler327 and  SLOTMAN      Trust me, the best view of a CDS is down the barell of a 12 gauge.  :290- :290- :7- :277- :277-

I purchased 3 boards as a backup then I fried my hard drive!!! I guess I have to wait until March for Paul as he seems to be the only one that can help!!!  I have been trying to locate software and have not had any luck.

I hate this machine but I have too much invested in it to turn back now.

Buzz, you wouldnt happen to have any software, would you?  I dont care the theme I just wanna play the game.
