it seems you have a contact problem. I have the same in one of my PETs, and
since I didn't want to install new sockets, I just put a precision socket
under each ROM and plugged that into the original socket. It helped.

No.

I have made a 6540 adaptor, but it is a simplified design that only works in
the character ROM socket. I did this because the support of three (or even
four?) chip select inputs would require an extra logic chip. If you look at
the layout you will see that the 6540 pinout is very different from 25xx or
27xx series EPROMs. The schematics (Eagle format) also show the pinouts of
the 6540 and 6550.
For replacing all the system RAM and ROM I designed another circuit that
plugs directly into the 6502 socket. You can read about both devices here:
