<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've talked to Merit tech support before and they
told me that the 8930 had some unique features, that sure enough, they took
advantage of when they used this chip, so unfortunately other chips don't
work. They have a work around that uses another chip, but I need to change
several other components on the board to accomodate it. I was hoping to
avoid that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Incidentally, while I'm not a fan of bar top triva
type games, I do have to give Merit tech support a two-handed thumbs up.
They sent me a copy of the manual for my machine for free. Didn't even
hassle or care that I wasn't a distributor or operator (and it was a 10
year old game that they don't officially support besides). Wait time to
get to the tech person rarely exceeded 1 minute, and they are very knowledgeable
of their games. They want you to be at the game ready to go, test, fix,
etc. They know what's happening, without mistake by the sounds over the
phone, etc., etc. Impressed me very much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Okay, back to tech tool stuff... (unless someone
else has an 8930).</FONT></DIV>
