What is this?

[stayouttadabunker]

Anybody know what this is for?
It has an SB101451 and a RB000003 BOOT chip in it.
It's fairly new really...

Here's a crappy picture from IGT

Thanks Brianzz!    
I'll add it to the documentation in my brain...
It doesn't have sockets for the SG chips?
What's up wid that? 

[Brianzz]

SG chips are practically just an operating system so the BOOT chip probably replaced them

That makes sense...the only logical next step in the evolution was to add hard drives...

[Brianzz]

I think flash would be the next step.. lots of stuff can go wrong in hard drives.. which I prove on a daily basis with PC's

I prove the same thing on a daily basis!

I see a few other IC's on the memory sub board they are either Flash EEPROM's and/or OTP ROM's and replace the Sound SIMM and DIP versions of the Game and Version IC's

IGT uses One Time Programmable versions of the Base 27C4002(4096) Game 27C801(080) Version 27C1001 IC's for 501, 502 and 504 boards (only numbers I know)

Sound Memory Flash memory (basically a fast EEPROM) does not need to be OTP since it can not influence or determine game outcome.

I suspect the CMOS RAM is still on the MPU since that is where the batteries are.

Due to the complexity of the board all the memory chips soldered on the memory board could be Flash EEPROM's without too much risk of being reprogrammed in the field without some expensive hardware.

Yes it's a flash board for a 044 board, it still uses a base chip for the particular paytable & I believe the OS is contained on the boot chips because I know (at least with video) the GKB00008 is fairly universal. The E square is located on the MPU or backplane still. Be carefull 044 Flash boards are extremely susceptible to static electricity.

[stayouttadabunker]

What do these boards go for?
They're like going on 4 years old now.

[PWRSTROKE]

This is a "R" board.  This is not a .044 board.  Most R-boards are used on s-2000 enhanced processors.  This is what igt switched to as far as the s-2000 based games goes.  B.

PWRSTROKE,
If you wanted one, what would you pay for it?

Here is the s2000 machine that this board came from

[Brianzz]

Lots of clones of that chip... the only way IGT knows to come up with new games is to clone something already on the floor it seems

[PWRSTROKE]

PWRSTROKE,
If you wanted one, what would you pay for it?

Stout,  Depending on game etc. it varies.  Just to get a enhanced processor and a R board to boot no more than 1-dead president--(100.00).  Again theme dictates that price dramatically.  That is just pretty much what I have seen.  If your R board had a Hot title the dough would be more that is what I am trying to say.  Also Merry X-Mas---B.

They do and have been in the cloning business for quite some time.  Can be hard to keep track of.  They are still "Manuplating" the s-2000 platform to a extent before they are done with it.  It is quite expandable so who knows when that will happen.   All gears at IGT now for the most part are all AVP driven.  B.

lol..."no more than 1 dead prez..."

Thanks B !

The only problem is that Ben Franklin was never president.  

Although most modern (1934 on) U.S. currency denominations have portraits of dead presidents, the following do not:

$10         Alexander Hamilton (First Secretary of the Treasury)
$100        Benjamin Franklin (Statesman, Printer/Publisher, Inventor, Scientist...)
$10,000   Salmon Portland Chase (25^th Secretary of the Treasury (under Lincoln), Originator of our national banking system, Governor of Ohio, Supreme Court Justice)


The rest are all dead presidents:

$1           George Washington (1^st)
$2           Thomas Jefferson (3^rd)
$5           Abraham Lincoln (16^th)
$20         Andrew Jackson (7^th)
$50         Ulysses S. Grant (18^th)
$500       William McKinley (25^th)
$1,000     Grover Cleaveland (22^nd)
$5,000     James Madison (4^th)
$100,000  Woodrow Wilson (28^th)

lol...Statfreak...you NEVER cease to amaze me...lol 
ONLY you would have noticed that!

Lots of clones of that chip... the only way IGT knows to come up with new games is to clone something already on the floor it seems

In their defense, it's a lot cheaper and easier to create new graphics and slap them on the old, already approved software.

I think that's about the only time you'll hear me defending IGT.

As much as I hate to admit it..

Yes I have that machine and I have no clue how to do a clear and reset on it. Any clues?

[stayouttadabunker]

My 1st thought is: why?
If you clear it - you have to reset EVERYTHING 'cause nobody likes IGT's default settings anyways...

If I had a valid reason for doing a ram clear for this board, I'd use a higher, more modern clear chip.
Which one that would be exactly - I haven't a clue.
Why? because there's no SG chips on that thing?

I'm quoting from a manual on clear chips>>>

"IVC000224 is for chips higher than SG000363's"

Now, would I use this clear chip on this board? ...hmm...yeah....
But I'd might wait for the experts to chime in and see if they'd have a
PSR sheet for this SB chip you've got in there?
might be some more pertinent & important info about this thing...

[Buzz]

Darell  One of the other members came up with this idea for a S 2000 and It works. Don't do a clear, just switch the two cmos chips, works like a clear but the only thing you lose are the credits on the machine and what ever error you have. 

[stayouttadabunker]

I don't see one that can be removed on the MPU but,
he might have one on the backplane board?
