Does anyone have knowledge about the protocol used for the Sega MIDI steering boards (838-14174)?
My eventual goal is to come up with a translator board that allows this FFB to be used with a couple of other games, including Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 1/2 (which uses RS232 and I've started decoding the protocol for it).
I can't find very much information about these boards. I was thinking the signal wiring looks like RS422, but the fact that it's labeled MIDI confuses things for me. I'm not sure where to start with trying to sniff the signals not knowing the initial type of signal I'm sniffing. My brief research of MIDI doesn't come up with any MIDI standard that uses TX+/- and RX+/-, per the labels on the signal wires in the wiring diagrams.
Any advice is appreciated.
