Hi!

I've been away for quite a while, but I've finally decided to bring my TOTAN to pristine condition. My TOTAN requires a new MPU, and I've found a good supplier, but I'm quite confused as to which board to select. Basically, the supplier offers all possible options, that is an MPU, an MPU with the ASIC, an MPU with the ASIC and game ROM, and an MPU with an ASIC and game ROM along with a Security Chip.
Now, as far as I know the security chip is meant to prevent an MPU from being transplanted into a different machine, yes? Does that mean I can buy the option without the security chip? It comes out cheaper, and no refunds unfortunately so I'd rather not be surprised later on.

Thanks in advance!

Battery leakage ate onto my game ROM, I think the ASIC socket was also affected. I dare say that the security chip could also be affected, I'll have a look at it tomorrow, but preferably I'd just buy the whole new thing. The supplier sells the board with all the other circuits tailored to the game a customer wants. So basically, if I buy the whole set (along with the security chip) there won't be any compatibility issues, right?
