HopeVendor Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I will provide pictures of the control board. The Eprom on it is 67015-8. I thought could buy the updated Eprom, which is 67015-10, and hopefully make it compatiable for my Nayax reader. I heard today that the only way for it to work is to buy a new control board, which is $795 through D & S Vending. OUCH! Is this for sure what I have to do? Still hoping for that a $40-50 eprom will do it… but if I have to do another control board, is it possible to get a cheaper refurbished one?

AZVendor Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I don't know why you were told that but you can easily see that the eprom is removable so you should be able to get one to update your machine. That is if the -10 is what you truly need. Where did you find that info? And you need to ask D&S why a new board is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider purchasing a replacement Timekeeper ram at the same time so that you start from a good place. Go to directly to Royal to confirm which firmware is the latest for your particular equipment. Mouser Electronics among others carries those.

I talked to a royal vendor guy today and he seemed pretty convinced that I needed a new control board to use a CC reader. When I talked to him about the new eprom update, he basically said “you can try, but we’ve never tested that over here to see if it would work” well, I’m willing to give it a try because the eprom is only $40 and a ew Board is $700+.

AZVendor Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Did you ask what changed between your board and the "new" board? They did have some models that used what they called the KO board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Royal tech support told me the same thing no my Merlin iv 650. That I would need a new board and updated selection harness. So I just got a board like my other 650 has and made a selection harness. Good to go. They also couldn’t tell me if the updated eprom they offer could make my original board work with cashless. Granted a different board than yours. But same story. wonder if royal tech support is becoming like usi tech support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkinthepark Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Did you try putting a CC reader on the existing board? I have a couple Royal 660s with the old red button boards and they are working fine with CC readers (Nayax). They even report cash sales.
