MPU004- This completely redesigned board replaces Data East’s MPU / Driver Board  part numbers 520-50003-01, 520-50003-02, 520-50003-03 and 520-50003-04.
Our boards are plug-and-play compatible with the original board set (assuming the common 512k Game ROM). Â No special tools or mounting tricks are required and the swap can be done by even the most novice of “installers”.
Benefits over the original Data East board:
– Williams WPC type mounting holes for ease of install / uninstall.
– No batteries required for memory retention (no acid damage, ever!)
– Simplified driver design using logic level FETs
– Beefed up switch matrix drive for better durability (good to 100V back drive)
In addition:
– Board is made with 100% through hole components.
– No custom parts used in this design (all parts can be purchased through usual suspects)
– Major component designators carried over from original design so original schematics can be used.
– Jumpers and ROM configurations clearly labeled on silk screen
– Â Board comes jumpered for the 512k Game ROM (80% of games)
– Board comes with complete set of schematics
Starting with version 3 of this board a DIP switch was added.
Note:
Most of our distributors offer this board without game ROM(s) and Microprocessor. Â This is done to keep the price of the board as low as possible. Â The Game ROMs and Microprocessor rarely go bad and are socketed so they can be moved from the original board to our board with minimum of effort. Â Please check with the distributor you choose to see which chips you may need to move! Â Call us direct if this confuses you.
