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.
