Hi Steve
I'd like to program an EPROM and install it (somehow) in the Option ROM
compartment of the T102.
Regards, Mark.

Mark,
I guess the documentation needs improvement.
It doesn't go into T102, but I'm not even clear from your note as to
what problem you were trying to solve, and how.
are you trying to somehow mount that board in the option rom
compartment of the T102?
