Technos to JAMMA Adapter

Description

Allows you to use your Technos classic pre-JAMMA game, in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.

In the early 1980’s, three employees from Data East, left to start Technos. Being a small startup, they licensed their games to established companies, mainly Taito and Data East, for distribution.  

This adapter works with many pre-JAMMA Technos games.  Some
Data East licensed games like Karate Champ, use the Data East pinout however.
