Thanks for all of the help Any and SkiDog. Oh, and I have a comm board hooked up to the Daytona 2 (which I don't even use), but not the SCUD, so that may be attributed to the problem I was having with one board working and the other not. Thanks again guys, really...I thought I was in trouble.

Glad you got it working. :smt023

Geezer is the proper one to thank. Geezer = :smt029 when it comes to M3 stuff.

I was simply reitterating a bunch of stuff Andy had me check when I was having issues with my Daytona. :smt069

Fortunately :smt026 and Unfortunately :smt022 my issue was more than the power supply setting.

Unfortunate in that is was not an easy fix :smt009

Fortunate in that it had me looking for spares at a very opportune time and I ended up with a boatload of rare M3 stuff that I really have not seen pop up that much.

There was one guy on eBay parting out a bunch of Model 3 stuff and I think I bought darn near every stack and spare he had. :smt117

I am surprised you prefer BOTE over PE.

I am going to have to dust off my BOTE ROM board and see what the appeal is on the Fantasy track.

I thought PE was better because of the Mix Track and the Hornet Car.

Just out of curioisity why do you like BOTE?

Is it the Fantasy Track?

The only reason I prefer BOTE over Power Edition is the beginner track...thats it. IMO Power Edition is the better game, but I can't stand the Nascar track. I still wish I had both versions (a few turns seem to be a lot more forgiving in Power Edition, plus the challenge track is great), but to me its worth the tradeoff for the nicer beginner course. What they really shoulda done was use both beginner courses, that way everyone would be happy

Actually since you mentioned the Hornet, I have a question. I heard once that it is in Battle on the Edge, just not available from the start. Is this just a bunch of BS?

Glad you got it working. Step 2 does use more voltages, because of the higher clock speed, and also the fact that Daytona 2 is powering more things like the com and MPEG 2 if you have it connected.

The Hornet is not in the BOTE, you can hear some samples for it though in the test menu.

The biggest BS on BOTE was the ability to stop at the roller coaster and then go on the roller coaster. I laughed when I heard that one!

I agree PE is better, but the Nascar track is so bland.

Yeah I remember that "rumor" about the rollercoaster. When I was looking to trade my PE, someone told me to keep it because you could ride the rollercoaster on the amusement park track...not quite lol. Someday I hope to get Power Edition again. Like you said, its a better game, but that BOTE beginner track...I still say its the best looking track in a racing game. Actually, IMO Model 3 still graphically destroys even today's racing games (on some levels at least, not technically obviously.) I just played Magical Truck Adventure for the first time a few weeks ago, and I couldn't help but be impressed by how well it holds up. I'll save the rest of my banter for a Model 3 appreciation thread

Thanks again for your help.
