Panasonic FH-2000 / Nixdorf PC05 looks like 28 pin and just a bit
different shape.
Very similar but no key slots in the end walls, and it's hard to tell
from the only pic I see, but th
Are you sure that 256Kb EPROMs were readily available at the beginning of
the 80s? Apparently the 2732 only came out in '79.
Whatever the reason for the original pinout, Tandy did upgrade the M100 and
later Model Ts' system ROMs to the JEDEC standard in late '83, but
presumably kept the option ROM

Hi Jeff,
if the ROMs in a C64 have a 'non-standard' pinout, what is the 'standard'
pinout for a 24-pin 64Kb ROM and how are the C64 ROMs and compatible EPROMs
different? I think the only 'non-standard' ROM is the

Tandy did release software using the strange socket. Multi-solutions for one,
multiplan for another.The M100 main ROM also used the strange pinout.

Jeff,
You have to remember that
Assuming you were talking about the PCB carrier and not a normal DIP
package carrier, it turned out to be possible to generate a 24-pin
version of the carrier right from the existing .scad file without even
editing it, by supplying overrides for two variables on the commandline.
For the pcb I
I believe the little Panasonic notebook also used a 24 pin version.
