Greetings, all.

A friend of mine bought a bunch of machines that had a Mikohn "MoneyTime" linked progressive when they were in the casinos (discussed previously, here).  Each machine had a Supreme inside of it, with a 12-cell by 2-cell display.  Here is the whole setup that we pulled from one of the machines:


(Click on the photo for a bigger image)

From my limited Mikohn knowledge, the "extra" square board pictured between the main Supreme board and the display isn't needed, right?  (I'm assuming it had something to do with the MoneyTime link.)

Also, there is no U3 chip on either board (the square board or the main board).  Am I correct that the 40-pin chip that goes into U3 on the main board contains the main software for the controller?  Right now when plugged in, we get a couple of LEDs on the main board, and the display board has one red LED on the back that seems to indicate it's getting power.  Nothing shows up on the display, which I'm hoping is because we're missing U3 chip.

Does anyone know what kind/size chip that U3 is, and can confirm that I really do need that to do anything with this?

Also, once I have that chip, how do I communicate with the controller to program anything in them?  (We'd like to program text and/or graphics -- no need for progressive functions, though.)

Thanks in advance!

You would use the MIKOHN downloader software..... and a PC with a serial cable to feed the supreme controller.
This will get you text and graphics but no progressive function. For that you would need the CON2.

That's the actual software that drives the display.

Here's a picture for clarity:

It will not function without the software. I imagine the functionality would be different if the chip was there and defective...

Here's a screenshot of the hardware diagram from the manual showing U3 as an EPROM, and the RAM as U5 and U6:

Bunker, Zooming Sherlock Smiley did not work for you this time!  bust gut laughing  In your defense, it was hard to zoom clearly as I wanted to check if my numbers I wrote down were wrong after seeing your post!

I wrote this information down from my supreme earlier and forgot to post it...

CSM/V2.10
(c)96 Mikohn
U3 cs 1883

The device is actually a M27C4096-120DC (Same as M27C4002 This is the Base Chip used by IGT for S2000 SB... and GameKing I... or M... Base Chips.) It is a 16 BIT 40 Pin Eprom, and most programmers require an adapter to read and program them.

I am sure that these Mikohn CHIPS are readily available if you need to find them.  yes yes yes

Adapter? It's a DIP package, so should be supported by most burners. I guess if you have less than 40 pins on the original socket, an adapter may be necessary.

It is indeed a 27C4096/4002. Sorry the original pic was not big enough to read the P/N, I didn't check. After I posted, I couldn't read it either!  Duh! Cry Laughing

Bill,

The reason that I mention adapter is that it depends on your programmer. The issue is not the 40 pin issue, but more that these eproms are 16BIT vs the normal 8BIT eproms. Most of the hobbyist programmers do not burn the 16BITt chips without a adapter like a daughter card. If you have a pricier programmer then it probably works out of the gate! I use the GQ4X which is decent, but I have to use an adapter for these style chips.

Ahh, ok, that makes sense. Mine does those natively, but it cost $$, even though it was an open box special from (French) Fries.

If your Chipmax takes 40-pins,  it should!

but these chips are 41-pins...



(just kidding ya keno... Tongue Out)

Bill,

Now that picture was really big!  Cry Laughing Cry Laughing Cry Laughing

Kenokarz,

You should be fine as that is the same chip for S2000, GK, IG+ Key and Base chips that you probably backup.

"From my limited Mikohn knowledge, the "extra" square board pictured between the main Supreme board and the display isn't needed, right?  (I'm assuming it had something to do with the MoneyTime link.)"

Can you post a good picture if it and the part number label....

Me too!

Need to see where all the wiring connects to the supreme and the machine.

Will do -- it'll be late Monday night before I have access to the pictures again (on a different computer), but I'll post as soon as I can.

So, the supreme doesn't connect to the slot machine, it connects to a display (several different sizes are available) and a controller if you want to use it as a progressive display. The controller will hook up to the slot, and the hookup varies depending on the machine and the controller.

In standalone mode, it can provide text and graphics.

Here's what it looks like when interfaced with a CON2I and hooked up to a 1x3 display (note: the CON2I is providing all text and progressive info. Depending on the size of the display you attach to it, you can do graphics and animations also):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/DDnJKUOWTZI&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/DDnJKUOWTZI&rel=0</a>

I need to get off my dead butt and post the videos of my 2x3 display. arrow

Can anyone confirm for me that I would use the same serial cable I use for connecting my ChamII+ to PSP (a cable with pins 2, 3, and 5 straight through, with 1 and 5 jumpered on the Mikohn end) with this Supreme?

...and that's all we're hoping to do with the thing -- no progressive functions (yet) (we don't have a controller, anyway).  If the one in your video is a 1x3, is the one I posted on the first post of this thread a 1x1?  Also, I've seen some other pictures of the supreme boards and they have stickers on them indicating 1x2 or 1x3 -- is that a function of the board or the software on it?
