That Molex backplane header connection ( J6 DCS) can only accept a 10-pin female Molex housing one way.
You see the hole in the right side of the header housing?
That's for the latch clip on your Molex plug.

IF you get your plug in the other way, you will break the walls of the header housing.
Wanna borrow my wooden mallet?  :208-

Cloeset I've ever been to Mexico is when I went out to San Diego, circa 2001.
I was racing in a sailboat regatta  :95- in the Pacific about a mile from a huge aircraft carrier!
Surprised they didn't shoot holes through our sails!   :104-

Sooo...Staz! You get that PT hooked up yet?  :129-

does anyone on here have one of those attendant red cards the casinos use...... i wonder if you can acsess other stuff on the lcd with one of those cards.....

I've seen (and heard) the speakers at the casino.  Station Casinos in Las Vegas uses them to make a noise if your card is inserted incorrectly, and also a garbled male voice says, "Thank you for playing at Station Casinos, where you can win without winning!" when you remove your card.  (A reference to their old Jumbo Jackpot mystery progressive which doesn't exist anymore.)

As far as a "red card" -- I imagine that without the reader being attached to a back-office server that you're not going to get much out of it.  The displays are likely pretty dumb and rely on the back office server to tell them what different card numbers have access to.  It's not like there's something different about the attendant cards -- they're just plastic cards with mag stripes, just like every other player's club card.

But I really wonder if someone got a hold of Casino Tech and see if they could
come up with something affordable we could have for home use?...>>>

I have a player tracking bracket that accepts the LCD screen of that size and the little speakers, if someone needs one. No stuff to go with it though.

Someone did, within the last year anyway. I wouldn't have a clue how the topic was titled but someone had theirs programmed so they could add credits with their card and a couple button pushes. I remember reading it but couldn't tell you how it was titled or who did it, sorry
