Well I have a silver PC-8201 from Australia that has DIL 28 pin sockets with flat pins not round, that have pin spacing to match the ram module. Socket is marked KEL, but I can't find a catalog that references such a spacing. must have been a custom. I'm sure my beige 8201s have the single row machine pin sockets.
Anyhow no big deal, I am pretty sure that the with is .725" between the rows, to match the "raw" standard RAM module. On Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 6:11 PM Brian K.
