Hello Jim, Not sure about that mask programming option for the chip select pins that "ghaytack" is talking about. If you have a look at the schematic at zimmers.net, you can see that all the 6540 rom have the same chip select configuration: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/2001/320132-2.gif I have made several - working ;-) - rom adaptors based on the pin configuration of the 6540 rom in that schematic, so I know that it is correct. So if that story about that mask programming option for the chip select pins is true, all the 6540 rom in the PET computers are configured in the same way. These are some of the adaptors I have made: Adaptor for replacing a single 6540 rom: http://members.lycos.nl/ijmtu/hpbimg/6540replacement.jpg Adaptor for replacing all 6540 roms (also 6550 ram adaptor in that picture): http://members.lycos.nl/ijmtu/hpbimg/pet2001rom_ram_Rep.jpg Schematic of 6540 roms replacement: http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3223/6540romreplacementwith2.gif -donni ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Brain" <brain@jbrain.com> To: <cbm-hackers@ling.gu.se> Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 5:14 PM Subject: 6540 Select Signals (Was: Re: 6550 pinout?) > donni wrote: >> That pinout is not entirely correct. >> Pin 2, 3 and 4 are labeled CS3, CS4 and CS5 in that picture. >> That should be: _CS3, _CS4 and _CS5. >> >> -donni >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Spiro Trikaliotis" >> <ml-cbmhackers@trikaliotis.net> >> To: "CBM Hackers" <cbm-hackers@ling.gu.se> >> Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 9:19 AM >> Subject: Re: 6550 pinout? >> >> >>> Hello Jim, >>> >>> * On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 01:30:45AM -0500 Jim Brain wrote: >>>> Anyone have a link handy for a 6550?
