Help with Konami PC Hardware

[orion]

I received recently a Taito type x2 board and parts and a TEM100-01B board.

The seller included some other Konami PC parts with it and I'm not sure what they are for, the use and or even the value. I know the tem100 works for Konami PC and Taito type x2 hardware. (Currently running a X2 multi on it as the X2 board won't turn on)

I know the hard drive has Quiz Magic Academy viii on it. It boots but then goes to some windows set up screen in Japanese. Is this HDD worth anything or been dumped before?

But mostly the TOPS APC card and this other card with a esata connection in it has me puzzled.

Can anyone shed some light on this hardware for me, my Google skills are bringing up nothing.

I attached some photos.

I'm not an expert on Konami, but although the motherboard is the same as the one in Taito X2, the PCB will not boot with TX2 bios as it has a bootlock chip.

I was able to get the taito multi running on it, and the Konami game HDD works so I assume it's Konami PC version of the tem100 not the taito one?

Did you change the BIOS on that PCB? I guess not. The multi doesn't care about that BIOS, it just needs a regular PC.

I didn't, I just got it.

Any idea what the TOPS APC card is used for? Is that just the I/O for JVS?
