The Electrocoin standard was introduced before [[JAMMA]]
(Japanese Arcade Machine Manufacturers Association)
to allow various games to be connected to generic
cabinets such as Silverline and Goliaths. They use the same 28 way connector,
but the designations are different. Pins 16 and 18 were 3 player and 4 player
start buttons, and were superseded when 3 button games became popular. Pins 14
and 20 were free, but were used by us to allow for easy servicing of games.
