Update: 22/07/2011
I have now replaced the replacement PC! Seems to work mostly but some full system freezes have happened :(
MAMED has now been built and it works! After all these years the SDL libs are still compatible.
The keyboard controller seems to work!
- more button wiring to do
- more tweaking of mamed config
- more USB PlayStation2 contollers on the way
- replace GDM with straight startx as low-permissions user
- replace XFCE with plain X init straight into mamed front end
