I have a fully working Satan's Hollow pcb I bought as a backup. My Timber decided to take a dump so, can I convert a SH to a Timber?

The Timber pcb I have is a converted Root Beer Tapper and is also an MCR III stack. The SH stack I have is a MCR II.

I looked at both boardsets and there are a lot less eprom spots on the MCR II stack and it also uses, I belelive, are bigger eproms.

Can I somehow convert this?

Here are pictures of both MCR II and MCR III Timber boardsets.

Not possible. The CPU boards (the board in the middle of the stack) are totally different......notice the Timber one is about 5 inches larger.

There's your compatible game list for Tapper.
 
Spy hunter is a different pcb altogether than Timber/Tapper, its the only one i've seen of its kind. The other mcr3 cpu's seem to be pretty much the same.
There's also a different Video board in Timber and tapper vs Spy Hunter.
IOW, i don't think you can convert Spy Hunter to anything else, but i could be mistaken.
Timber, tapper, DOT, and Journey appear to be similar pcbsets.
