Interesting. I think if Kyocera/RadioShack had not chosen to go with the stupid non-standard pinout it would have been a more popular way of distributing custom applications for the machine. The socket itself was a good idea to make putting a chip in more idiot proof.

Just chanced across something else that used the Molex socket. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124169271006 The bag says Intermec and KIT,EPROM,9440,64K. There is a company called Intermec that has the same Everett, WA address as on that bag, and they have a device with a model number 9440. I can't find any pictures of the back or inside, and the user manual doesn't show anything either. https://cybarcode.com/sites/cy/files/manuals/intermec/9440_irl_manual.pdf But this spec sheet does say "Optional 32 KB or 64 KB EPROM cartridge" in it: https://cybarcode.com/sites/cy/files/specsheets/intermec/9440_specsheet.pdf So besides Model 600 and Epson PX-4 and PX-8, that's one more thing that used that socket. -- bkw
