hey guys, i just want to confirm, which Touchmasters(Midway) and also which
Megatouches versions were not using VGA monitors? i know at a point they
started using VGAs but don't know when! sorry for the stupidiy but still
learning on these things and trying to learn how to upgrade them! they all
i'm sure have security chips that need changing, and then the eprom/CD/HDD
but do not know which goes to which!! any websites that explains?

TIA
Kelly

so, i can upgrade my Touchmaster 5000 to an 8000 and that's it?

8000 is not in the Infinity line, correct? someone told me that CGA stopped
at 7000 and 8000 was VGA.

i am guessing you have to change out the whole monitor to change from CGA to
VGA, correct?

TIA
