The early cartridges were made with a form of low exteaction force sockets
-- a kind of poor man's ZIF, designed to make it easier to extract the
ROMs. You've probably got those. You put a small screwdriver blade in,
against the bar, and twist (only when there's a chip in the socket!!)
BTW, has anyone got a spare BBC Master Series
User's Manual? The one that
covers the Master 128?
It's called the Master Series Welcome Guide. No, I'm not parting with mine
just yet :-)
I'd also like to find out what ROMs the
ROM cartridges will accept - I've used 27128s and 27256s, anyone know if
anything else will work?
AFAIR, 2732s should work, 2764s certainly work, and then up to 27128 is
officially supported. You can use 27256s and *possibly* 27512s if you
program them appropriately.
