Too bad I don't have a 200; you're probably right but since it's not clearly defined in the data sheet I'll have to dig out one of my other systems using a 2764 and check it for myself ;-) But I have to ask: why pull pin 27 to Vcc? What happens if you pull it low? On Sun, Nov 13, 2022 at 9:06 PM

27C64 can't be used as-is. pin 27 is A15 and needs to needs to go to a non-existing 2nd OE or CE. You'd need an adapter board that combines pin 27 (A15) from the socket, with pin 22 /CE0 (/BANK#1) from the socket, to produce a single /CE to pin 22 of the chip. You could do that with a single

Nice. So the point would be to make the main rom natively azerty to match the hardware, free up the option rom slot for normal use, without otherwise changing the main rom so that it becomes incompatible with application software? I guess you might even be able to make a dvorak version and move th
