Welcome to the ranks of Sorcerer owners :-)
I've also added the model to my collections site:
http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/collection/exidy-sorcerer.htm
The only thing to do now is to replace or repair the BASIC ROM-PAC
Images of the four BASIC ROMs are on my website, and you'll find them
also on some other Sorcerer websites such as
http://www.trailingedge.com/exidy/
I think I also have a PCB layout for a ROM-PAC somewhere -- not the
original, but one I drafted many years ago to use different EPROMs.
However, it's easy enough to re-jumper the sockets in the ROM-PAC for
different EPROMs, and more than one listmember has a Sorcerer with a PAC
I've repaired that way. The original ROMs are mask ROMs, of course, but
Exidy designed the PAC to take various different ICs.
