Nope, the original 0.10 EPROMs were a set of four 2732s which live in
the four sockets normally used for sideways ROMs. There's a set of
links on the board to rearrange the chip select decoding to make those
four sockets occupy a quarter each of the MOS space, and make the other
socket, normally the MOS space, into the language space. A little
later, there was a ROM version 0.1, of course.
