Post by: poppo on June 04, 2011, 10:34:48 PM
Is this some aftermarket sollution for the new $5s, but it no longer takes $50s or $100s?  :103-
Not much info listed (i.e. ID #s, etc)

If they aren't knowledgeable enough to advertise with ID#, or at least what games it's for, they probably don't know enough about it to support it.  :279-

But hey, it's only $20. :97- :208- :72-

What led me to their site was this that I had seen on e-bay. I wanted to find out more info on it since it seemed to imply that you could take any pulse type of BV and make it work in a IGT machine.

Then I ran across the upgrade chips.

That may be the 'official' release (but not for 022/023). I was trying to figure out if this was some after-market thing. Something like this after-market DBV-145 upgrade http://www.pyramid5.com/u1100.html

The JCM DBV-200 update we have is for the SH model bill acceptor, so I cannot guarantee that the chip will work in your bill acceptor.  We make our software updates to order, so we do not take them back on return.  If you have any other questions or need anything else just let us know.

SH protocol is used for Bally
SG is for Williams.

Hope that helps.

The problem is they didn't answer the question about $50s and $100s. And whats up with the 'we make our updates to order'?  :103-  Basically I was trying to figure out if this was a 'custom' chip or just a standard release.
