Does anyone have a photo, PCB layout, or access to a
real board
so that they
can check ROM chip locations for me?
The 6540 ROMs in mine are arranged (left to right) as:
018 (PCB loc. H7)
014 (PCB loc. H6)
012 (PCB loc. H5)
016 (PCB loc. H4)
015 (PCB loc. H3)
013 (PCB loc. H2)
019 (PCB loc. H1)
(6540 #010 is at the back-right of the board, location A2/A3.
Character table,
I assume)
Seems a bit odd - I'm just surprised that they aren't linear. Odd
that there's
no 017 either, but then there's no 011 - possibly they did that
so the two
couldn't be mixed up.
Date codes are all in 1978, so presumably I'm looking at a first
issue of the
ROMs?
I'd just like to rule out that someone hasn't pulled the ROMs on
this at some
point and put them back in the wrong positions :-) (annoyingly
the schematic
correlates ROM memory location with PCB location, but not ROM
part number with
PCB location)
According to the document at

the ROMs are in their correct locations.
