There are TWO people with these robots??? Haha that does make the most sense since it fits.
It's a different situation with the M100 because although there is room for a normal socket (not zif) with a dip chip in it, the pinout is non-standard, and there is no room for a socket plus a pinout adaper with it's own socket. Plus there are old commercial roms and new accessories like REX that only fit in the original socket with the original pinout that you want to remain compatible with. -- bkw On Sun, Jul 3, 2022, 5:45 PM Scott McDonnell <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes that was me.
