Back to the issue at hand, I tried another I/O card, the one on the far inside of the main door, and now it fires right up without the 7 seg mismatch error, only to have a new problem:
Not getting anything on the 3 displays on the right side nor am I able to use my multi denom touchpad, which I did set up on programming for all 4 denims, plus it's not lit up either. But at least the game is playing now, yay! Thanks for all the help guys. Now I don't know if this is the problem with the displays not shoring up now but, I only had the far interior I/O card from a standard deck 3 reel machine, would that affect the Tabasco since it's a 5 reel, 10 button deck?
