AWSD help..connecitng Naomi

Post by suicidalmonkey »

Could use a little help connecting a Naomi up to my AWSD.

From what I can tell, the only way I can power a GD-Rom is if I have one of those power splitter cables (or make one myself). There is a 6 pin power adapter, but I'm assuming that's for the I/O board (I haven't powered anything on yet mind you). Currently I have 2 Sega JVS I/O boards, and one Sega Jamma I/O board. At first I thought I would definitely have to use the Jamma I/O board until I opened the cabinet and found this:

Could someone tell me what this board is? Looking at the AWSD manual, I'm guessing it's some form of jamma i/o, but it has almost no components on it. It has the same 26 pin connector as a Naomi I/O board so I'm wondering if it's just a passthrough for the buttons or something.

Any help is appreciated.

It is an Atomiswave slave link board, has to be connected to a master in another cabinet to be of any use. It is of no use to your Naomi installation.

You're the guy who got the other AWSD in the group order right? I can't wait to get mine.

I've never hooked a GD-ROM up, but if it's 3.3v you're looking for, according to the manual the PSU has a place for that. You might need to tap the 3.3v to get your Sega IO board to work, I don't know if it'll convert the 5v automatically or not. I dunno if that answers your question or not.

Any reason you've ignored my PMs? Did I do something to **** you off?

Way to hijack a thread thc hardcore... :awe:

Yes, I'm the other guy who got an awsd in the group order. Everything was still wrapped in plastic so I have no idea what's different about your cab compared to mine besides a blue joystick balltop and slightly different marks and scratches. I just got the one that was easier to get to at the time...who knows, yours might be better somehow.

The cabinet does have the correct power connectors for jvs. I might have been mistaken and the 6pin connector I was referencing before isn't for the i/o, but for the gdrom. I'll have to hook a voltmeter to it to be sure.

After reading some stuff over at sega-naomi.com I should be okay minus sound. I have 2 official sega amplifiers, but I'm not so sure that's the best option for this cabinet.
