Hi everyone. I am totally new to the Odyssey world having recently picked up an Odyssey of our own. From what I can tell everything about the machine is original. I'm hoping to do two things. One is get a hard drive that has Top Hat as well as some other favorites. The other is to get a bill validator setup in the machine that will accept current bills. The one that is in the machine will only take dollar bills (since those haven't changed since the machine was introduced).
How would I know if a bill validator would be compatible with this machine? Does it send some code to the motherboard, or does it simply send a credit amount to the motherboard? I'm looking to get more information to get this machine to work with all things 2023. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can offer.
