OK, I finally got arround to describing my monitor/sound/marquee-relay
for my mame cabinet. You can find it at
http://symlink.dk/arcade/powerrelay/

Hopefully you (and perhaps someone else) can find this usefull. I have a
huge pile of other stuff about my cabinet that I want to put on my page,
but I really haven't had the time. If someone is particularly
interrested in something, please let me know, since this may be what I
need to motivate me to write something up.

As I mention on the page, I got bootsplash (the gentoo variation) up and 
running on in 640x248 framebuffer mode on my Matrox G400 using an arcade
monitor. Looks pretty cool with a logo and progress-bar during bootup
and shutdown.

Cheers,
