I have one of those EME rombo adapters. It’s awesome. But I wasn’t aware that 
OSHpark was getting into the flexible PCB business. That would be far more 
convenient than this adapter. I use mine in my 200. I also have the more 
flexible adapter that Traveling software used that wraps around the Molex 
carrier. The EME board is definitely the way to go. I think there is even a way 
to wire that adapter to support 2 option ROMs with a switch attached but I have 
never tried it. But the small trace and solder hold near pin 1 make me wonder.

Also, I think oshpark has sme text on the site to the effect of "contact us 
about our possible new flexible circuit service..."

 

which is exactly what we need for rombo

I haven't seen one. I have a Disk+2.0 rom that is a nice simple board that 
takes a dip28 27c256 too.

 

Though remember these were commercial roms never intended to be re-written. The 
Figtronix board, not to mention rex, allows the eprom to be re-written.

I know there have been a few adapter boards put on OSH park. Most of these user 
newer Eproms which, from what I have gathered reading the list, are more 
difficult to solder. I disassembled an old Super ROM tonight to look at the 
adapter board. It seems like a fairly straightforward board for converting an 
older 27c256 to the OPTROM pinout. Has such a design already been made 
available online?
