Title: Name that part... Post by: tkmkid on October 12, 2008, 12:33:57 PM I have a part in my machine and I am not sure what it is or what it does attached are some pictures....
It appears to have 2 fiber optics ports. Part# 75420200 Rev. A IGT S+ My guess is some part of a Progressive display. Title: Re: Name that part...

Those HP opto couplers were the standard interface.

Thanks for letting us know what it was Op-Bell. Something new learned already today and it's only 9:00 AM :). Karma to you knowledgeable one.

What is an "SMIB" :103-? What can it do? Title: Re: Name that part... Post by: Op-Bell on October 17, 2008, 02:28:34 PM I have a couple of those too. Sorry! "Slot Machine Interface Board". It connects a game to a slot accounting system. Back in the day this was a very simple interface, basically just a few bytes pushed out of a serial port, which was about as much as the simple CPU boards could cope with. The fiber optic link was a short daisy chain hookup to a concentrator in each slot bank - a small computer with a fiber interface to the slots and ethernet to the main servers.What is an "SMIB" :103-?
