Likely some sort of video fruit or something - huge connectors needed to drive the lamps, payout and bill acceptors etc.

The Sega one might be the same as Wonderboy and other similar platforms in terms of pinout.

The Taito does look like an old two board set in the Space Invaders era

well , you stated your board is from 1982

must be Sega G80 then, the others where used from 1983 and up according to your source  8)

According to www.system16.com it's not G80. It belongs to an non-standard group of Z80 based games http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=688, the "System" classification started AFAIK in 1983 with System 1. Maybe it's a predecessor to System1?

@Bela: can you make a picture of the edge connector (both sides), this might help to find out if the pinout is matching another one from that group of Z80 based games.

I think the problem with a board like that is that it is ultra-rare, but you'll have to find the one person willing to pay what it's "worth" just to have a rare board. I mean, the game can't be very good if the production "run" was 35..... right ?

I hope we can try this pcb out at Eurocade and decide together if it is good or crap. ;)

Sega threw some relatively rare PCBs out there. I also have a Sega Suntory Tapper board. Not to many of those either  :)

The pics from the connector:

So, I checked the available pinouts of the other Z80 boards listed on www.system16.com but couldn't find any matches. The fact that Super Locomotive has it's own Mame driver adds to the conclusion that the pinout is unique.
Did you ask the other SL owner on VAPS if he has a pinout? If not then the only way to find out is with a multimeter and some try & error. Here's how it's done: http://www.crazykong.com/tech/Identify-unknown-boards.txt
My guess is that the paired pins on the left and right edge is GND and the three connected ones on the right +5V, but I could be wrong.
If you want to sell the board real cheap then let me know  ;D

Mission accomplished! ;D
The other owner of the pcb is really nice guy from the Netherlands called Jan, he sent me the pinouts (found out by himself) in no time. ;D
He is also some kind of an arcade distributor, called Dragonfly-Amusements.
And the pic he sent me :D

Cool! Now all you need is to replace the missing audio amp and make an adapter!

Thanks Laschek. ;D
Btw. can you tell me some more details about this audio amp thing? :oops:
I guess it is that missing black thing in the top right corner.
