I have about 120 of both the sockets and the carriers (and ceramic 27c512 in them) and I found some part numbers and drawings for both.
AND!!... I found what seems to be ready-made stm files to 3d print the carriers from the manufacturer. You probably need to use a relatively expensive print service like shapeways to get the necessary detail, but hey it's reproduceable instead of extinct. I haven't tried to get any printed yet myself so I don't know if the mesh files are good or not. I'm giving away the sockets and carriers to whoever wants some for free, but only one or a few per person, until they're gone. If you have a busted or corroded socket or you want to build a programming adapter etc. They are the same parts for model 100, 102, 200, and 600. In the case of model 600, the carriers are actually useful, because 600 takes a standard 27C256 right in the carrier. They're not especially useful for 100/102/200 because whike they fit, no dip chip has the right pinout. In 100/102/200 they're mostly just good for replacing a busted carrier on an original commercial mask rom with the special pinout. The sockets are primarily useful for reading or programming completed modules where there's really no great way to make the physical connection to the outside edge of a module except snapping it into the socket. Or replacing a busted socket. I'm sure I have everything linked from tandy.wiki, though indirectly, like an article will include a link to a google drive folder, and one of the files in there will have the part numbers and links to the 3d print files, data sheets, pics etc. I can't really dig it up right now as I'm out and about, but I'll post links later or you can start at tandy.wiki and maybe find it yourself by just poking around and following links. Ultimately I'm pretty sure everything is in the google drive folders, & some pics in google photos. Look in the Model 600 stuff too, not just Model 100. -- bkw On Jul 11, 2017 6:07 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks like a part that can be 3D printed. > > > > On 7/11/2017 4:30 PM, Mike Stein wrote: > > I'm pretty sure they're obsolete, but I think this is what you're looking > for: > > http://www.allpartsdata.com/partinfo.php?q=50-57-5284&MFG=MOLEX+INC > > FWIW I believe Brian White managed to find a quantity of the sockets; I > don't think he has any of the carriers but there are alternative solutions > available. > > m > > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Kurt McCullum <[email protected]> > *To:* [email protected] > *Sent:* Tuesday, July 11, 2017 3:17 PM > *Subject:* [M100] Molex part number > > Does anyone happen to know the Molex part number that the OptRom uses for > inserts?
