Re: TECH : Wiring a Blitz 99' CP

Hi,

Yes, I am sticking this in a dedicated MK 2 machine. The original harness is
there. and complete. The game works with the MK 2 control panel, other than
1 button. I have a Blitz 99' control panel I would like to use.

When the MK 2 panel is connected to the Blitz 99' board, only 2 of the
required 3 Blitz 99' buttons work for some reason even though the MK 2 has 4
buttons.

Any help in using the existing MK 2 harness would be great. I don't want to
have to re-wire a standard harness if I don't have to or strip the MK 2
wires which plug in nicely to the control panel.

Thanks again,
-Derek.
