Would be nice!  You always have to wonder about un-used spaces on boards
like that.  I stumbled into that one researching capacitor replacements...
The similar case I wondered about was what looked like a 2nd floppy header
on the other side of the LCII...but then someone pointed out that it didn't
have enough pins in the blank holes.  Oops!  Hadn't counted, but they were
right.

Thanks, Wesley, that's exactly what I was looking for!

It saves me the trouble of finding out that it doesn't work.

Although there are different reasons for only populating half the pads, I'm
leaning towards the claim that Apple originally planned for 256kB chips but
swapped them to 512kB chips. It could be that the price dropped considerably
on the 512kB and it was easy to reprogram the ROMs.

Great link!

Cheers,

Keith
