Sega used the same pcb quality, 6 layers gold plating, same components, the unique difference is the SRAM that is BGA instead of SSOP32, because the the UPD442012, was in allocation in that time.
I'm hardware engineer I know about I'm talking.
I tested the new baseboard with HOD4, VT3, HODEX, Rambo and Race TV, and works nicelly.
RedEx Baseboard are produced in the same factory, but a number of them have a faulty component, I've had over 100 lindberghs here, I know what I am talking about. Sega have replaced a lot of them.
Seems to affect all the first batch of Rambo PCBs - how many Rambo PCBs do you get sent for repair?? That's right you don't.. So I think I know what I am talking about..

For the moment I only have one Lindbergh running rambo, and is running nicelly, but I don't care too much because I can repair the pcbs my self, I have the tools
Andy,
What do you know about RingEdge, there is very few information on internet?
This week I bought a RingEdge game on Yahoo:
I think it will be useless without a KeyChip, but will be nice to add to my Sega collection.
I supposs I will receipt it by next week.
RingEdge is the one with the onboard video, the one that runs from 12V/5V
I've seen the Sega Racing Classics PCB, the keychip is totally different now, and the DVD is more secure - The security holes of the Lindbergh have been tidied up nicely.
