Thanks for the pointer to the pinouts. The difference (as relates to reading in a PET) is in pins 18 and 21. For PET use (i.e., reading from an already programmed chip), the 2532 would treat pin 21 as a no-connect, pin 18 as A11, and pin 20 as the only chip select. A 2732 dropped into that socket would want to see A11 on pin 21 and a chip select on pin 18 (with pin 20 being the "output enable" pin, in this application, essentially another chip select) I haven't tried it, but it should work to stack a couple of 24-pin machined-pin sockets and swap around signals with those pins to drop a 2732 into a PET. Mostly, I just save 2532s when I see them - I have enough for the PETs I own. > Anyway, I have far more 2516 and 2716 chips than I have '32s.

The 2716 _will_ work as an expansion ROM in a dynamic PET, but you lose half the space you could stuff another 2K utility into. My machine was always loaded w/12K of extra firmware (SuperMON (4K), PET Rabbit (2K), PAICS BASIC Toolkit (2K) and I'm drawing a blank on the other 4K now - I haven't used that aspect of the PET in probably 25 years, and I've changed my firmware load a few times as I've fixed hardware issues). -ethan Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2010-01-21 17:00:05
