Yes, I did wonder, they didn't look like what I remember is inside my
Master 512 but the insides are inaccessible so I couldn't check.

I've always thought that *TIME telling me it's 1906 is one of the more
endearing features of the Master 128.

Best wishes,


Ian

The pictures on ebay are of a 32 pin package, thus indicating he's made the
adapter, and probably programmed them himself. The originals are a paged 28
pin ROM, like a 271001 EPROM. These are virtually uinobtainable. There is a
jig trick whereby you can mount a modern 32 pin 1Mbyte EPROM and re-load the
pages as you wish.

There is some stuff on how to do this, as well as how to patch the MOS for
Y2K at:

If enough people were interested perhaps we could get a batch of boards
done. I first saw this trick done to replace the 27513's in some radio sets.

Here is another site showing how to add ROM and RAM:
