I got 2 moonwalkers in. One works, but the other board won't boot. Ironically, I got in a working clutch hitter (also system 18,), so I tried putting the daughter board and chip at ic4 on the clutch hitter board, but to no avail.

The problem with the moonwalker board is at least 2 bad caps in the 5 volt line. Is it possible to get a clutch hitter board to run moon walker by moving parts around? Did I miss something?

These are sometimes suicide boards. Do they have the Hitachi FD1094 chip in the middle of the board?

That's the most-likely failure point. You can't swap in a standard 68000 chip for the FD1094 without burning unencrypted ROMs.
