This will only work if you have a 8235/00 if you have a 8235/20
there will be only 1 rom, if you remove it you also remove the
bios / basic etc.
if if you want this it will be easyer to connect a normal 720Kb
diskdrive to the
rear connector .
8235 can use 720Kb , it can only not be formatted.
if you change the diskrom 8235/00 --> 8250
or 8235/20 -- > 8245 you can also format 720Kb disks
