ROM Adapter Board

I have made several ROM replacement sockets for the masked programmed Motorola 6800 MIKBUG ROM used in the SWTPC 6800 system. The MCM6830 ROM does not have a EPROM equivalent. The replacement board has a 74LS20 (to map the 4 enables) and a 2716 EPROM. The challenge was to find pins that could be soldered into the ROM board that would plug into the existing socket on the CPU board. I bought several types of pins and headers from surplus stores and Digi-Key. I have determined that capacitor leads are the best solution. Many capacitor lead are made of steel and are much stiffer than resistor leads. The ones I get I can make a lower profile adapter then if I use header pins. I describe the process (with pictures) in the Users Guide on this page. http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/ROM_Emulator/ROM_Index.htm Michael Holley
