Title: Mystery Board Post by: Magicslots on October 09, 2009, 12:45:02 AM This board was/is in the top of my S+. Mounted in the back left corner. I assume it is some type of SAS/accounting board?
The odd thing is that the chips in the board are marked BallySys? :103- Just curious as to why its in there? (http://) Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: stayouttadabunker on October 09, 2009, 02:01:05 AM Main chip missing in the U3 position...
Bally and IGT were in cahoots at one time...sort of Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: Magicslots on October 09, 2009, 02:11:14 AM :131- So am I correct in my assumption it was an accounting/tracking board? :46-
Anybody have a use for these boards now a days? other than just curiosity pieces? :5- Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: Op-Bell on October 09, 2009, 04:41:55 AM It's a Bally SDS board. The machines have to have a network board that suits the casino system. The main network players back in the day when boards used chips in sockets like that were IGT (SAS), Bally (SDS) and CDS, now absorbed by Aristocrat. SDS was very popular in New Jersey.
I don't think any of these boards is useful to home users. Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: stayouttadabunker on October 09, 2009, 01:20:58 PM Your last sentence was correct....curiosity pieces...
I have a few as well but no real casino to hook them up to... :72- haha...Can you imagine if I plugged my home machine wirelessly into Harrahs back room computers? They'd freak out...and I'd be behind bars in some southern state awaiting execution... :96- Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: brichter on October 09, 2009, 11:46:00 PM Your last sentence was correct....curiosity pieces...

are having a hard time identifying an unknown board. Including one I have recently obtained: This was made in 1992 by IGT. the only thing I have is an ASSY NO. 7542200 Would anyone know what this is? It has five 2-pin jumpers and 2 headers. One header is a 4-pin while the other is a 6-pin header. It also has 2 LED lights a red and a green one. Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: Jim on December 02, 2009, 06:10:15 PM Mark would that be the one mounted on the back wall of the S+ the one that is needed for communication with the top box of a Barcrest ?
sounds alot like it. normally it is used in conjunction with a card reader system I think?? Jim Title: Re: Mystery Board Post by: stayouttadabunker on December 02, 2009, 06:15:12 PM I forgot that I had posted a question about this last summer...
Here's a link to the thread on it... RBPerrine was extremely helpful with it but I never got around to completely figuring it out.
