I got a message from Guru when I asked him about the possibility of getting the old PCB working again:
"Did you see the pics on my site of the protection module? it's now in a million pieces. the sockets on the PCB are configured for 2716 ROMs, but the module holds 2732 ROMs. The PCB will need to be modified, but I have neither the knowledge or time to do that."
I'd really like to get the PCB working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If your board is like the naughty mouse board you will need to burn 2532 roms with the eprom data, not 2732. The first eprom will be ok but the others will require jumper wires from each eproms enables to the 74139 that does the addressing. You will need to rewire the inputs of the 139 to access upper memory. iirc there's an input for refresh that gets cut and replace by a15 from the cpu. It's the same general procedure for converting a pacman to a ms pacman, you can probably find the instructions on the net.
