Apparently there are still some hard-core collectors out there. I once sold
a Zektor set on ebay that I constructed from some Sega XY parts, the correct
security chip from a Monster Bash, burned the original EPROM code and
populated and EPROM board and sold it working. The person complained
because it wasn't a "true" Zektor set because it didn't have the correct
EPROM LABEL (even though in all functionality and physical respects, it WAS
a Zektor boardset...)

As for the Multigame sound board, I asked Clay about this a few weeks ago,
and basically he said he had the proto sound boards in, just needed to hook
them up to something (needs to do some research as to the Sega I/O commands)
and figure out "the damn Japanese sound mastering software " first.

Wait another year :-)
