I have an OR2SP cabinet and I'm trying to wire up a Namco FFB board for use with Maximum Tune. I believe it's the same board used in Mario Kart 1/2.
It looks like the one here:

The one I purchased said it came from Maximum Tune (1 assume), and that's the very game I'm trying to make it work with.
I would love some help with this because I'm pretty sure I've got it wired up correctly, but I'm not having any luck getting it working. I referenced the Maximum Tune wiring diagram for wiring.
Specifically I'd love if someone who has one of these could tell me the behavior of the LEDs on the board.
As it is, when powered on I get a Red LED solid on, and a flashing green right next to it. There are 2 other LEDs on the board that I'm not seeing light up, though I haven't had a chance to look at them when I think the game is sending a command.
With an RS-232 adapter on my computer, I tried sniffing the communication between the Chihiro and the board, and I see one command sent from the Chihiro and nothing sent back from the board.
I have checked and double checked the communication wiring between Chihiro and this board. Ground to Ground, RXD to TXD, and TXD to RXD.
I don't get any activity in my motor, either. It's a 90VDC motor and I verified it works fine by directly applying 12v to it.
What does work? This board gets the steering pot wired directly to it and passes through the voltage to the analogue input in the JVS i/o. This is working fine. The game registers wheel movement perfectly when passed through this Namco board.
Any help is appreciated.
