I saw someone trying to track down some ROMs the other week over on Desert Island Fruits, so I've mirrored @Geddy's big fruit machine ROM collection to the Internet Archive. I can periodically upload a fresh copy to overwrite the old one... since we've got the publicly accessible Community Drive (see Dif for more info on this project), this seemed like a good companion resource Link is here: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb

I did already add the link in my forum signature over on Dif: Not exactly one of my projects since it's simply a one-off upload of @Geddy's incredible work, but it's such a valuable Community Resource I felt it warranted a place among the other project links! I did also post a new thread about it in the Dif Resources section: https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16850-fruit-machine-rom-archive/ I just looked it up, and there's no way to post a raw URL link in a google drive, you can only post links to other google drives. So no way to create a direct link right now. I've added a text doc, with just a link to the Community Drive so far... I can add more links, open to suggestions

Do we have a drawing of the pins (or can we create one)? If we decide on size and material I know companies with suitable CNC capabilities and can get a price from them.

i think richard cole has one for sale?

Link this over at dif too maybe add the link within your community drive?

That's a lot of ROMs!!

Great stuff, thanks for this John!

That is possible, Digikey have them in stock https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/61062-3/21530399 , I would always be a bit concerned that the possible heat generated would affect the crimps after a while especially if they weren't crimped with a proper AMP tool which most folks wouldn't have? I've never seen a drawing of one as they don't appear in the Combo-line info as they originally weren't PCB mounted. It's possible this could have been a special for Barcrest, I do hope not! Still, pins are available to measure from existing connectors if someone has the skills to produce a drawing. Not sure what they might be made of though?

Graham, make sure when they ask for pins they don't sell them the male crimps instead! I reckon the pins don't actually exist as a separate part as I've never found a part number for them. So I'm thinking they come as a whole unit in the housing but I've never found a part number for that either??
