There are two unpopulated sockets on my two T130Bs.
One is a 20-pin DIP,
which I suspect is probably something like an LS374 and the other is the
boot ROM. For yucks, I'd love a snapshot of the ROM and affirmation of
what the other upopulated socket is. In return, I could verify that your
setup's right.

Do you know it's a) working and b) low-level
formatted to 512 bytes/sector?
A) yes B) no
I suspect DOS might just query the fact that
there's a drive there, without
any knowledge of whether it'd be capable of
reading/writing data.
???
I assume the ROM on the SCSI board is taking over
control of the system
boot - and probably has no knowledge that BASIC is actually lurking in the
host system's ROM. If you get to the point of being able to boot DOS from a
SCSI disk, I bet there's a way to hop into the system's on-board BASIC via
the DOS debug program...
Well I gurss I have no choice but to get to basic through DOS. It means
lugging an extra disk but I'll do anything to get the onboard BASIC.
