    @acebathound:

    Despite the "NVRAM-War" you have a monopoly on this great board, there is no way around your board if you have a MPU-200 CPU and want to go with NVRAM. I have ordered 5 and will pay this evening.

    Quoted from acebathound:

    LOL. I'm not sure if it's a good thing to have a Monopoly on a board that isn't in very much demand -- but for what it's worth, the few sales that happen are all mine!! hehe.
    Have sold a few handfuls this year, none from the recent posts in this thread though.. so for anyone judging demand.. there you go I think maybe people with MPU-200 machines are just using 2x nvram adapters or not worrying about upgrading. I'm surprised.. the market feels as "soft" as the market for Gottlieb System 1 stuff. Surely there's more people that want to upgrade their MPU-200 games.
    I think with the cheap used RAMTRON pulls now available this adapter should sell a little better. Maybe a few more handfuls per year!
    Thanks for the bump!

    I think, there have been produced more than 20.000 machines with a MPU-200, so there should be a demand.

    Here is a list of these machines, so all owners can easier find out, if they need this board - highly recommended.

    Quoted from Cheddar:

    Can this kit be tested in a neoloch tester after it is built?

    You cannot witout building an adapter.

    I could think about an adapter, you put in the Neoloch-Zif-Socket and then put the NVRAM-Adapter in it and test the module as 6264-RAM. To built such an adapter, one should know how ace routed his adapter, especially the DATA lines.

    I am sure, ace will clear this up for us.
