The P-ROC board has been used to replace the original CPU board in existing machine for a couple of years now (and run the original code through the P-ROC via pinmame).  This works directly in WPC and Stern Whitestar/SAM machines.  For older machines, some customers have built interface boards that sit between the P-ROC and original boards.

Is that what you were asking?

That's the thing.  Some of those MPU boards are fixed that way.  Others are just all FUBARed and it would be better to use something like this to replicate one instead.
