| Great write up. I learned plenty for upcoming private reverse

| Any idea why this cabinet uses EPOS?

| Tangentially, I have a feeling the FB Alpha and Final Burn

|
| I'd love to clean up and improve the game selection on mine.

| Brave iOS, the page keeps refreshing on a loop. Bizarre.

| Housekeeping note for the author: a few instances of the misspell
| "Analyzying". Not that it greatly matters! Just noting.

| Off-topic, but the scroll behaviour is weird. 1 click on my
| scroll wheel gives me 1 slide of scroll, but more clicks don't
| give me more slides unless I stop and pause. If I keep scrolling
| manually for a really long time (the entire length of my hand,
| about 25 clicks over about 7 seconds) then I still only get 1
| slide of scroll. If I flick the wheel really fast then it scrolls
| by about 1 slide every 500ms. I can't work out the logic.
