Remember, ROMs can be copied too although not many people are equipped to
do so.  I predict that if the scheme you propose were implemented, a security
chip emulator program (copy protected &%!@&$!! ) would be introduced by 
someone else.  It would work by redirecting memory references to the ROM
board to RAM.  Also, a RAM or EEPROM board with one free socket used to copy
the contents of the security chip into RAM or EEPROM wouldn't be hard to 
build either.  Otherwise I think its a great idea.
