Opening the rom cartridge is a little tricky?
it's holding together through four rivets.
You need to heat them before they can be
removed, there is a big change you will
damage the housing.
I saw one reference online to heating with
a soldering iron with a little pressure prying
the case apart. I'm hoping that taking the
heat off as soon as it releases will prevent
any damage.
But with some glue logic it should be possible to read
the
rom with a programmer.
Are you thinking in terms of a way to do so
without desoldering the ROM chips? If so,
that would be great as I'm not looking forward
to that. But something tells me that the bank
switching Tony mentioned will pretty much
require me to remove the chips from the board.
And I know at least three 98228A
ROM's, one in Australia one in the UK(London area) and one
in the Netherlands ;)
I can confirm there's one in the US too. However,
it'll probably be at least a few weeks before I'll
get a chance to make an attempt. So if the owner
of one of the others is in a position to read their's,
that would be great.
