Maybe 20 years ago, N&V mag had a good article on re-programming the Billy Bass fish. It did not replace the current board, but re-programmed the existing chip.
I have contacted N&V, but while they recall the article, their archives do not extend that far back.
Does anyone have this article that could be copied?
Thanks, Mike
Reprogram Billy Bass
Billy Bass is only about 8 - 9 years old. You can find info on him here as
well as a link near the bottom on how to mod him using Linux. That page
has a link to an embedded mod for "him" also.

More on modding Billy Bass
Circuit Cellar Ink had a detailed article about 6 years ago - look through one of their indexes on the web.

Re: Reprogram Billy Bass
My parents have an old Billy Bass out in their garage and i am going to be visiting this summer. One question for creating the modifications. It is possible to expand the devices current capabilities, or only to replace what is already there with a determined amount of space? It would be cool to have the fish seem normal and all of a sudden blurt out an obscenity or threat, haha. With electronics, my specialty is testing devices like a wood moisture meter, but this seems like it would be a pretty fun electronics project to take on.
