Brian,
I'm trying to get my hands on a few of those carriers. I'd be happy to send
some money your way if you're interested in letting some go.

I have about 120 of both the sockets and the carriers (and ceramic 27c512 in

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.

Looks like a part that can be 3D printed.

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

Does anyone happen to know the Molex part number that the OptRom uses for
inserts? I'm reffering to the part that the PROM wraps around and is inserted
into the OpeRom socket.
