Yes, you have to pop them out to put them in a prom reader. However, that's
not what I was asking. I was merely asking if you were positive you had
them, via visual inspection, so we knew there were at least two sets in the
world rather than my one set :) Someone could have pulled them out years
ago, that's why I was asking for a visual check to be really sure they were
present in your system.

no you have to pop them out to put them in a prom
reader!
I know they are there... the system would not have worked as an access
system had they not!
we need a set of hardware manuals for the 2100... it seems though the
passing of the years the old ones I had at computer exchange Inc. let
the
earth...
I DID find though the 2100 hardware training manual # 02100-90159 while
looking at home here for the infamous DEC master Module List.... When I
retired I squirreled bits of manuals all over where I live... Most have
been added to the museum's reference library but it seems every time I go
digging I find something.new I know the 2100 processor manuals are gone
though as they were in the HP binders.... kind of hard to loose those!
